# Department in Products & Services

Shared department records read from Core in Products & Services.

The shared definition and source fields are in [Core / Department](/systems/core/department). The local table is **Department (mirror)**.

## Use and boundaries

Parent Organization places a department inside a company. Head Membership identifies its lead, and Teams and Positions connect the department to the organizational structure. Classification Term uses the shared classification catalog.

Use this mirror to read shared facts and follow their links. Create and maintain these records in Core; the six catalog intakes in Products & Services work on Product, Product Component, Offer, Price List, Brand and Product Category.

## Where to correct

Correct shared identity, status and organizational links in Core. Check the sync source, field mapping and refresh settings when the mirror differs from the source. The table name does not establish sync direction or write support.
