Category Equipment Options are additional options such as a Two-Way Radio or a Trailer Hitch that can be added when purchasing new equipment. These items are created and maintained on the Item Master Definition frame.
The items and budget options setup on this frame will appear as options on the Category Options tab of the Unit Request and Unit Purchase Requisitions frames when requesting a Unit with the specific Category Code.
