Enabling E Pool (Equipment Pool)

In its simplest form, Equipment Pooling is the shared usage of transit equipment by multiple customers who collectively benefit from it rather than managing and maintaining the equipment individually.

Through use of the Equipment Pool or E-Pool feature you can track the availability in the Sub-Region level and reserve the equipment by pool. The pool reservation is implemented for all the Equipment within the Sub-Region.

The E-pool menu is available in the Order window in Accounts module. To use this menu enable certain settings..

1. Select the Configuration module > Warehouse tab.

2. Select the Equipment Pooling check box, as shown in Figure 1.0.

3. Save and Exit the Configuration module.

4. Relaunch the R2 application.

 The Equipment Pooling check box in the Configuration module and the Maintenance module cannot be unselected once any E-Pool actions are performed.
