Units master records

Units can include, but are not limited to, these items:

  • Construction equipment, such as dozers, forklifts, or cranes

  • Personal vehicles, such as cars, vans, or trucks

  • Public transportation vehicles, such as busses or taxi fleets

  • Trucking industry equipment, such as reefers, tractors, or trailers

A Unit master record is a critical part of TMT Fleet Maintenance. You must have a unit master record before you can assign that unit to a repair order (RO). The unit’s functionality depends on your TMT Fleet Maintenance license.

You use the Units page to:

  • Create unit records

  • Update unit information

  • Remove units

Go to Menu > Masters > Units to open the Units page.

Unit categories

There are four unit categories:

  • Company units (full units)

    Company units belong to your company. They also count against your unit licenses.

  • Non-Company units (retail units)

    Non-Company units are units you work on, but you do not own them. For example, if you run a repair shop and fix a customer’s vehicle, that vehicle is a non-company unit. Non-Company units do not count against your unit licenses.

  • Miscellaneous units

    You use miscellaneous units to track non-rolling, non-road based equipment, such as:

    • Trash containers and roll off boxes in the waste industry

    • Pallet jacks, dock plates, and forklift batteries in warehouses

    • EMS equipment on emergency vehicles

    • Lawn mowers and weed trimmers in maintenance shops

    • Other low valued assets

    Miscellaneous units have their own unit limits, which you can purchase separately from standard units.

  • Reports Only units

    Reports Only units are units that you no longer have physically but that you want to run unit cost reports on. Reports Only Units do not count against the Unit Limit Count (that is, your license count). You can make Reports Only Units active again if needed, as long as reactivating the unit would not cause you to exceed the unit count.

The tabs and fields you see on the Units page depend on which category the unit belongs to.
