Setting Up Types
The equipment type is a way to classify items of equipment. It is generally a wider classification than the model number.
The account mask on the equipment type helps determine the revenue account and cost accounts used in a sales transaction, as well as the revenue accounts for rental and transport invoices. The mask can be used to direct revenue and costs for a type of equipment to a specific general ledger account.
