EQUIPMENT

Use this subtask to select the equipment used in this routing step. You can select only equipment that has been defined in the Equipment screen. This subtask will be disabled if the selected line is a subcontract operation (that is, if the Labor/Subcontract field is Subcontract) in the main screen.

Use this subtask when you create the routing step, and maintain it whenever modifications to equipment specifications are necessary.
