Importing
If you try to import equipment in LYNQ without first importing the equipment in Visual APS, the equipment will not be available for import.

Local equipment
You can manually create equipment records in either Visual APS or LYNQ. The steps are the same as creating a local employee record

Activated
When an equipment record is active the equipment can be used for OEE purposes. Additional functionality in the workbench will be turned on. Equipment transactions are generated for active equipment and you have the ability to record downtime activity to support OEE and TEEP calculations

Equipment must first be imported in Visual APS and then imported into LYNQ.. LYNQ maintains a relationship of equipment records between both applications. An equipment record will be created based on where the equipment belongs to. If the equipment is reorganised in your Enterprise Resource Planning application, the equipment record should be deleted and re-imported in Visual APS and LYNQ.  If you try to import equipment in LYNQ without first importing the equipment in Visual APS, the equipment will not be available for import.
