# Add equipment to a service location without invoicing the customer

## Overview

Add equipment to a location record when a customer purchases a new piece of equipment or wants to ensure their equipment is recognized by your business. This allows you to track the equipment item, even if you didn't perform the installation.

#### Who uses this feature

- Administrators
- Applies to all business types

## Things to know

- You can add previously installed equipment after a customer has become a member and wants a piece of equipment covered by that membership.
- When you invoice a customer for an equipment item, the installed equipment is automatically added to the location record. You don't need to manually add the equipment to the service location.
- After adding equipment to a location record, you can service the equipment with tasks and materials from your pricebook while on a job. For more, see [Service equipment with materials or tasks in ServiceTitan Mobile](/v1/docs/service-equipment-with-materials-or-tasks).
- Added equipment only appears on location records. This is because equipment is tied to the service location where the job is performed.

## Add equipment to a location record

1. [Search for](/v1/docs/use-search-in-servicetitan) and open the location record you want to add equipment to.
2. Go to the *Equipment* section and click **Add Equipment**. ![User interface showing equipment management options with an 'Add Equipment' button highlighted.](https://cdn.document360.io/961862ab-d0f2-4d91-bb62-a62ee8184eff/Images/Documentation/copy-of-forms-image-pz3obn11.png)
