Equipment units may be classified into generic types, or fleets, for various reasons: budgeting, reporting, maintenance requirements, etc.

   • The Edit Equipment Type change screen appears.
2. Click Add .
   • The Edit Equipment Type add screen appears.
3. Fill in the fieldsfields as required.

   Equipment Type is a 6-character code identifying a generic kind of equipment, e.g. ISTRAC for tractors - interstate. It might also be used to identify a fleet.

   In Risk Management, all units applicable for the insurance premium chargeback function must be identified by the assignment of the appropriate equipment type to all applicable units. The equipment type for motorised units must contain an equipment element for "motorised equipment" as defined in the Asset Management business parameter Equip Element for Motorised Equipment.

   Equipment Description is a brief description of the equipment type.

   Super Type identifies the super equipment type that this equipment type is linked to, if applicable. The super type is used to group equipment types into major types. You can right-click in the field and select Prompt to select the super type from a list.

   Insurance policies can be set up with FAQ27 insurance sections for each super type. A maximum insurable value can be entered for each FAQ27 section that will be compared against the net book value (on the effective date of the agreement) of the unit being rented.

   In the case of a reservation that does not specify a unit, Enrich will look at the default value assigned to the super equipment type based on the requested equipment type.

   Super Flag flags whether (S) or not (N) the equipment type is actually a super type. You can right-click in the field and select Prompt to select the flag from a list.

   Allow on Misc WO flags whether or not the equipment type is allowed to be used on a miscellaneous unit work order. You can right-click in the field and select Prompt to select the flag from a list.

   The miscellaneous unit panel within a work order will check this flag. Validation will only occur at the time of work order entry. If an equipment type is considered valid at the time of creating the work order, but the equipment type table is subsequently updated to make the chosen type invalid, the work order will not reflect that change. Only work orders created after the change will consider the new flag setting. Any equipment type that does not have the flag set will be considered a valid equipment type; i.e. blank = Y.
