Equipment aliases

This option allows you to work with an equipment unit's alias information. If inserting a record between existing records, Enrich will automatically expire the previous record.

If Lease Rental is not installed, you can add and change an alias, but not delete it. If Lease Rental is installed, you can only edit the alias field. The current active contract will be displayed beside the record if applicable. If Lease Rental is installed and unit ownership is customer and there are no active contracts, you can use the same options as if Lease Rental is not installed.
