Project Equipment (tppdm6112s000)

Use this session to maintain project-specific equipment cost objects. These differ from standard equipment cost objects in that they can be used in one project only. Use the session Equipment (tppdm0512m000) to list standard equipment cost objects. Equipment cost objects represent the equipment you need to perform project tasks. You can copy default values from standard equipment cost objects. To do this, enter the code for the standard equipment cost object in the Equipment field, and then confirm that you want to copy the standard equipment data. The rest of the fields on this form are then filled in with details taken from the standard equipment cost object. This session also allows you to view the information in the list detail view. See List Detail session.
