Equipment attachments

A major component, defined with a unit number, can be attached to a parent unit. The attachment is identified by an effective date, allowing the attachment history to be retained. When the attachment is made, you may specify how the combination is to be viewed from a revenue and expense perspective. The choices are to track the detail separately for each attached unit or to track the detail as a combination. A combination may be unattached. This results in detail tracking for each unit separately after the detachment effective date.
