Equipment Form
Use this form to enter, view, and delete asset items and equipment items in the Equipment Info Center.
The Equipment Info Center stores two types of items:
- Asset items — These are items purchased for overhead projects that are capitalized and depreciated over time.
You can also enter an asset item for capital leases and prepaid items, such as general liability insurance that are amortized over time. Asset items are created from purchasing items that have a category type of Capital Items.
- Equipment items — These are items purchased for regular projects that you do
not depreciate.
Equipment items are created from purchasing items that have a category type of Equipment.
Equipment items can be:
- Automatically generated from line items on purchase orders, change orders, or release orders from blanket purchase orders in Purchasing > Purchase Orders.
- Automatically generated from line items on AP vouchers in Transaction Center > Transaction Entry.
- Entered directly in the Equipment Info Center (without a purchase order or AP voucher).
Equipment Lookup
The Equipment Lookup dialog box that opens from the Search field on the Equipment form has an Active Assets and an Inactive Assets check box (located below the search results list). Use these options to search for only active asset items, only inactive asset items, or both. The status of an asset item is entered on the GL Book tab of the Equipment form.
Multiple Companies
If you have multiple companies in Vision, the Equipment Lookup dialog box in the Search field on the Equipment form includes equipment items from all companies. However, only the equipment items from the companies that you have security access to display in the dialog box.
