An Equipment Assembly is a stored Equipment entry including Equipment and Labor rates and payroll information and can contain multiple Equipment line items or a single piece of Equipment. Equipment Assemblies are Master records so they are available for use in any Bid. Using Equipment Assemblies can save you time when creating Bids.
