Overview

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.

  • Added equipment only appears on location records. This is because equipment is tied to the service location where the job is performed.
