Manufacturers

In MYOB Acumatica, you can enter and maintain information about manufacturers and the equipment that they produce. Once you create a manufacturer in the system, you can specify it for any piece of equipment that is added to the system. Also, for any piece of equipment, you can specify the related manufacturer model. The details specified for manufacturers and their models are used for informational purposes only; no specific functionality in the system is associated with this information.

In this topic, you will read about how manufacturers are created and assigned to equipment in the system.

Adding Manufacturers

When you create equipment in the system, you can select any manufacturer defined in the system. You define a manufacturer that produces equipment on the Manufacturers (FS204400) form. When you define the manufacturer, you specify its address and main contact information, such as the identifier of the contact person, the contact's email address, and the contact's phone and fax numbers. For details on how to add a manufacturer, see To Add a Manufacturer.

You can assign manufacturers to new and existing equipment. For each manufacturer, you can also add its model information to the system.

Adding Manufacturer Models

A manufacturer model is equipment that is produced by a specific manufacturer. In MYOB Acumatica, you can add a manufacturer model on the Manufacturer Models (FS204800) form. On this form, you specify the manufacturer, the identifier of the model, and its description. You can also assign to the model an equipment type defined in the system. For details on how to add a manufacturer model to the system, see To Add a Manufacturer Model.

After you have entered the model, you can assign it to appropriate equipment.

Assigning a Manufacturer and Model to Equipment

You assign a manufacturer and its model to equipment in the Manufacturer Info section on the General tab of the Equipment (FS205000) form. You select the manufacturer of the equipment in the Manufacturer box, and you associate the manufacturer model with the equipment in the Manufacturing Model box. You can also specify the year when the equipment was produced in the Manufacturing Year box.
