Rental equipment request from Project

In Project, the Planned Equipment Request functionality allows you to rent equipment for a project. The request for the planned equipment can be created manually or generated from the Planned PRP orders created for an internal equipment.

By default, the status of this planned equipment request generated from planned PRP order is always set to Planned. For the planned equipment request that is created manually, by default, the status is set to Firm-Planned. You can view and process the planned equipment requests in the Planned Equipment Requests (tppss6125m000) session.

When a request is created manually, these two scenarios are possible:

  • An equipment code is specified. In this scenario, the data such as the description, units, cost rate, planner and image are defaulted based on the selected equipment. You can modify data such as description, units and planner. However, you cannot modify the cost rate and the image.
  • An equipment code is not specified. In this scenario, the equipment description and other data must be specified manually. You can approve and transfer this request to Service. In Service, an equipment is assigned to the request before the request is processed to a rental agreement
Note: A Planned Equipment Request is allowed for internal and external projects.
