Floating Barcodes

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Floating barcodes are barcodes which are not owned by any warehouse, but allow you to track a piece of equipment through the warehouse. For instance, you may subhire a piece of equipment and wish to track its usage through a series of jobs before it is returned just as you would your own equipment. It does NOT affect the asset valuation of your equipment, nor does it add to your stock levels.

Open the Inventory Book in the Hire Manager Tab.
