Equipment Profiles
Each equipment profile shows:
- Details — name, type, serial number, condition
- Financial info — purchase price, current depreciated value, hourly rate
- Maintenance history — linked maintenance log entries
- Usage — jobs and invoices this equipment has been used on
- Loan status — whether the equipment is currently loaned out
Linking Equipment to Jobs
When creating or editing a job, you can link equipment to it. This tracks which equipment was used and calculates usage costs based on the hourly rate and duration.
Equipment usage also appears on invoices when billing for equipment time.
Editing and Deleting
Click on any equipment profile to edit its details. You can update condition, hourly rate, or any other field at any time. Deleting equipment is a soft delete — it can be restored if needed.
