Equipment order lines
Equipment order lines are individual entries within an equipment order that specify the details of each piece of equipment being sent to a recipient. They essentially act as line items within the order. Equipment orders are used to group multiple equipment transactions for the same recipient (e.g., User, Contact, Account, Opportunity), rather than creating individual requests for each item. The order itself sets overall dates and recipient information, while each line specifies the type of action (request, reservation, loan, assignment), equipment details (type, serial number), and individual dates (which can differ from the order-wide dates). There are five main types of equipment order lines: Assign: Create an assignment for the selected equipment. Request: Create an equipment request for the chosen equipment type. Reservation: Create an equipment reservation for the specific equipment. Loan: Creates an equipment loan for the selected equipment. Consumable: Creates an equipment shipment record for consumable items, which are not expected to return.
Note: Consumable equipment requires a separate license. Also, since consumable items aren't returned, they create "Equipment Shipment" records instead of loan records. Hence, for consumables, the equipment and quantity must be specified
