Equipment Safety Notes


System Maintenance Menu -> Configure System Settings -> Operations Tab -> Inventory -> Safety Notes

A Safety Note is a basic instruction which applies to many rental items.
Example: USE GAS/OIL MIX 4:1 could apply to a wide variety of rental equipment.

Safety notes can be maintained in the Equipment Safety Notes window in the "Inventory" parameters on the Operations tab of the Configure System Settings.
An operator must be assigned a Security Role that allows permission to the Operations - Safety Notes in order to access this table.

When entering a rental item, display the list of Safety Notes, and select those that apply. Any safety notes selected will print out on the rental document directly beneath the item rented, according to the Alternate Language flag assigned to the customer.

Assigning the Safety Notes to the products:
The Safety Notes can be assigned to specific products using Update Safety Notes by Products or individually in Sales Inventory and Rental Inventory.

Group Safety Notes can also be copied from the Group to products in that Group using Clone Group Information to Products.

Safety Notes print on the associated product line item details of the rental documents including Quotes/Reservations/Contracts.
For Invoices, a default value to print Safety Notes can be set in the Company Invoice Parameters and this company default can be over-ridden for a specific customer according to the print flag set in the customers' Additional Customer Information.
