Product Make and Model List - Master List


System Maintenance Menu -> Configure System Settings -> Operations Tab -> Inventory -> Make and Model List

The product Model Number can be used in the Inventory Search for rental and sales products.
The purpose of maintaining a "master list" of Makes and Models to assign to products in the Make/Model and Re-Order Information window, is to help standardize the keywords to use in the search.

Validating the Make and Model against this master list is optional for sales products and rental inventory, however a warning is generated when the Make or Model of a non-bulk rental product does not conform to the descriptions your firm defines in this master Product Make and Model List.
If there are no records in this master Make and Model table, then no validation warning is triggered for non-bulk rentals as this feature is considered not in use.

If any Make/Models exist in this table, the Make and Model values are validated against this master list on inventory updates generated from Inventory Clean-Up Import or from the Update Product Make & Model import action.

To help ensure this information is available the Mandatory Make/Model/Manufacture Date feature can also be activated in the Company Inventory Parameters to enforce the capture of Makes and Models for non-bulk rental equipment.

The prompts in this Make and Model master list include:
