I could be wrong but this Equipment column under Dispatch grid isn't tied to any module. Why? It's only used to show the equipment used to perform service. It can do way much more. See below.

WHO;
Most service companies and also for phased projects that use work orders.

WHY;
For proper work order costing. Currently, you need to have a job whenever you use the equipment for a work order. Then make equipment a part in 9-2, then attach the equipment part in the work order to bill the client for equipment use. Then you would turn around and allocate it to the job (hence the integration request). This workaround isn't efficient and increases the chances of an error.
This will then tie into Daily payroll entry under the column Operated Equipment.

To bring everything home, Equipment Allocation integrates with 11-2. 11-2 posts equipment used in the Dispatch tab as Operated equipment in 5-5-1. 11-2 also uses set billing rates in the Invoice tab.
