Use this screen to define and track equipment used in the production process. Equipment type can be a machine, tooling or test equipment. Once equipment is set up, you can link it to work centers and/or operations for reporting and capacity tracking.
This screen has three tabs:
Equipment Detail — Use this tab to enter fixed assets information, organization and details about the equipment.
Source Info — Use this tab to modify or view source information about the equipment.
Notes — Use this tab to enter additional notes about the equipment.
Set up this screen when initializing Costpoint Routings and maintain it whenever modifications are made to equipment.
Use the fields in this block to create a new Equipment ID or to retrieve a previously saved one. An Equipment ID represents a set of equipment details. After you have saved an Equipment ID and its details, you can retrieve them using Query.
When you select a previously saved Equipment ID or Name, the associated details automatically display as selection defaults. You can change any of the associated defaults as necessary.
Enter, or click 
to select, an Equipment ID. If you selected the Auto Number Equipment IDs check box in the Configure Routings Settings screen, a system-assigned ID displays in this field. This field is required. Choose characters for your Equipment ID that help identify the type of selections you made in the screen.
When you save your record, all the details made in the screen are stored with the Equipment ID. Later, you can retrieve the equipment using Query.
You can maintain equipment more efficiently because you can select the Equipment ID with its previously defined parameters. After the default selections display in the screen, you can override the defaults.
Enter, or click to select, an equipment name. The field is required.
Select this check box to indicate the equipment is active. This check box is selected by default.
