Setting Up Equipment Distribution Rules

Set up equipment distribution rules to provide the system with instructions for the distribution of equipment location billings. When you set up equipment distribution rules, you supply the system with this information:

• Billing account numbers for location billings.

• Transfer action codes to determine whether to rent or sell to job.

The system uses the information that you set up in the Equipment Distribution Rules table (F1305) to search for the proper accounts to charge for the use of equipment based on its location. You must set up a table for equipment distribution rules for every company that requires distribution rules. As a minimum, you should set up a default table for company 00000. The rules that you specify in the default table apply to all companies that do not require equipment distribution rules. You should also set up a blank job for all companies, including company 00000. The system uses the blank job when you specify an account with no specific distribution information, such as job, rate group, or equipment number.
