The Equipment Types SKU frame allows you to create and maintain codes to group equipment together by functionality and identify each piece of equipment with an asset number and description.
Create

You will receive a popup asking you to confirm you want to create the new Equipment Type. Click Create to confirm the action. Enter a description for the new type. This field has a limit of 30 characters (alphanumeric).
In the section below, enter as many SKU numbers as necessary. The "Stock Keeping Unit" (SKU) number on equipment is the manufacturer-specific number for the type of equipment. This field and the Description field have a limit of 30 characters (alphanumeric).
