This article covers the specifications of equipment status in the Warehouse module. Equipment statuses apply per packing list: the equipment tied to one pickup or return date of a (sub)project.
Equipment status and project status can differ.
The status of a packing list is a warehouse status, and the project status is only used to manage the project itself.
For example, if you book some equipment to "On location" but finish packing the next day, that packing list shows "On location" while the project status stays "Confirmed".
Rentman updates the project status for you. It becomes "In progress" as soon as the first item is booked in the warehouse, and "Execution done" once all equipment from every packing list is back. You set "Complete" yourself. Read more about projects statuses here.
The four equipment statuses in the Warehouse module
| Confirmed | Equipment of the packing lists that are scheduled for that day. |
| Prepped | Equipment that has been prepared. |
| On location | Equipment of the packing lists that are out. You can switch between the tabs "All projects on location" and "Projects expected back that day". |
| Returned | Equipment of the packing lists that should have returned but have not been fully booked back to the warehouse. This status is assigned automatically when equipment remains on location. You cannot assign it manually. |
Three statuses are locked and cannot be repositioned or removed: Confirmed, On location and Returned.
You can also add your own statuses. For more details, see Custom Statuses in the Warehouse.
You can change the status of a packing list in the 'Warehouse' module by clicking Change status on its tile. You can also change the status of a project by opening it in the 'Projects' module and editing the status in the 'General' tab.
