Creating Makes
You use make and model to classify equipment in e-automate by manufacturer. You can only assign makes to inventory items with equipment codes. When you create an equipment record, e-automate knows with which model the equipment is associated because the equipment coded item is linked to a make and a model on the inventory item profile.
You can create a make independently from the Makes list window and then have it available to associate with an inventory item, as outlined in the steps below. However, best practice recommendation is that you create the make from within the inventory item profile, while creating the inventory item. See the Help topics for creating inventory items.
