Optional

Capitalising work to an asset Optional — Units #

Add repair costs into the machine's value

Service documents post parts and labour into the value of a unit you own as stock, shop equipment or rental fleet, covering maintenance, pre-delivery inspection and usage devaluation, and will not save unbalanced.

Customer equipment on the sale Optional — Units #

Record work against the customer's machine

A customer's own unit — vehicle, RV, heavy equipment, appliance or machine — is attached to the transaction so work is recorded against that specific asset, and the full history for any one unit in a fleet can be recalled.

Unit records for whole goods Optional — Units #

Track every machine you own individually

A unit record holds serial number, make, model, unit number, year, mileage, tyre and battery counts, cost and list price, and optionally rolled-up asset cost values, attached to an inventory part.

Units linked to customers and invoices Optional — Units #

Know which customer has which machine

Units can be sold, transferred from customer to customer, attached to invoices and customers, rented out, or simply tracked as customer-owned equipment that you service.
