Equipment Assignment (AC03.6)
Use Equipment Assignment (AC03.6) to associate equipment resources to an activity. This resource identifies equipment or assets from non-Lawson systems or assets that are not defined in the Lawson Asset Management application.
Before you can associate the equipment resource with an activity, the equipment must be defined in Resource (AC03.1).
More Information
Click Roles to access Role Assignment (AC03.7). Use AC03.7 to associate roles with resources, including AC Person, HR Employee, Asset, Vendor, and Equipment.
Click More to access Resource Account (AC03.9). Use AC03.9 to associate a company, accounting unit, and account with the resource/activity or activity group combination. This is the default expense account information for Resource Journal Entry (AC41.1), Subcontractor Time and Material Entry (AC42.1), and Transaction Interface Adjustment (AC54.1) only.
Click Rates to access Assigned Equipment Resource Rates (AC18.5). Use AC18.5 to associate rates with equipment/activity or activity group combinations.
If the Equipment Validation flag on Activity Group (AC00) is Y and you use AC54/AC540 to interface equipment, or use the AC4x forms to create journal or resource entries, then you must assign the equipment here. However, the Resource Validation flag on Activity Group (AC00) will override the Equipment Validation flag for the AC54/540 programs.
You can assign equipment to an activity at any level, not just the posting level. Creating the assignment at a level above posting might simplify setup because all assignments apply to any children activities.
You can use Resource Assignment Listing (AC203) to list the resources assigned to an activity.
