  - **Name**—Enter a name for the equipment.
  - **External Id**—Enter the equipment ID.
  - **ERP Id**—Enter the ERP ID for the equipment.
5. Select **Save**.

### Define equipment status

1. From the application left navigation area, select **Administration**.
2. From **Master Data Management**, select **Equipment Status**.
3. Define the status of the equipment. For example, **Active**, **Installed**, **Inactive**.

## View and edit equipment

### From the Accounts page

To view equipment that's associated with a specific account:

1. From the left navigation area, select **Accounts**.
2. Select an account from the list.
3. Select **Equipment**.

### From the Equipment page

Alternatively, view and edit equipment in **Equipment**:

1. From the application left navigation area, select **Equipment**.
2. Select a pre-configured search expression to search available equipment items.
3. Select equipment to view or edit. The following tabs are available for each equipment item:
  - **Sub Equipment**—A child product associated with the equipment.
  - **BOM**—Bill of materials. Documentation on the equipment, its products, and spare parts in the hierarchy.
          Note

          

If equipment does not have a separate BOM, refer to the associated **Product BOM**. Read [Equipment and Product BOM sync](/v1/docs/configure-equipment#equipment-and-product-bom-sync).
  - **Partners**—For example, sold-to and ship-to partners.
  - **Sales Data Determination**—Information about the organization, channel, and division.
  - **Attachments**—Files that contain more information about the equipment.

## Map the product BOM to equipment

You can maintain BOM in both **Equipment** and **Product** objects. You do not need to maintain separate BOMs if a product BOM is sufficient for the equipment hierarchy.

To map the product BOM to equipment:

1. From the application left navigation area, select **Equipment**.
2. From the list, select equipment to view and edit:
  - **Product Name**—Enter the product associated with this equipment.
  - Select the product that you entered.
  - On the **Product** top navigation bar, select **Product BOM**.
  - In the **Maintenance BOM** column, set the switch to **YES** for the appropriate hierarchy level. For example, **Spare Parts**.
