After adding all group members, you can remove any record(s) that you do not want included in the sale. If any equipment record in the group has already been sold, that record cannot be sold with the group and will not be added to the transaction.Note
- If you are using the expanded scrolling window or the Sales Item Detail Entry window to add detailed equipment information, you can mark the Update Equipment Link checkbox if you want to automatically create an equipment record at the selected customer and location upon posting the sale. If you mark this checkbox for the parent record before the rest of the group populates in the scrolling window, the components default with the checkbox marked. If all group members are present on the transaction before you mark this option, you are prompted to apply your changes to all group members on the sales document. Select Yes or No.
- When you are ready, save or post the document. Any equipment records that are also fixed assets need to be retired before they can be sold. Each equipment record that was included in the sale has its own financial record of the sale; however, you can view the combined financial information for the equipment group on the Hierarchy Financial Inquiry window. See Viewing information for a hierarchy group.
