Equipment
Equipment is set up as a resource (Type = Machine). Equipment resources do not need standard setup, such as Base Unit of Measure, but instead have additional fields relevant for equipment management.
The COSMO Project Manufacturing-related fields and functions on the Resource Card for equipment are described in this section.
