Equipment Charges

Equipment Charges Maintenance​

From the DockMaster menu, select Service Management > Maintenance Functions > Equipment Charges

Purpose: Equipment charges are tracked by operation and are added to a Work Order operation by using the Equipment Tab. Equipment Charges would be any additional equipment that you may have had to purchase or rent to complete a customer’s repair order.

Each time you enter the window, you will see ALL charges that have been added to an operation. You can remove a charge or change the description and date at any time until the operation is billed out. To remove an Equipment charge that has not been billed out, select the charge you want removed by clicking on the detail line with your mouse. Press the Remove Charge button from the Command Panel.

Once you bill out an operation to a customer, the charges will appear highlighted and you will be unable to affect these entries. To remove a charge that was erroneously billed to a customer, you must enter the charge again as a negative amount.

To add Equipment Charges to an Operation, select the Operation that you are adding charges to and select the Equipment Tab.
