Base & Options: Base Profile Tab

The Base Profile tab allows you to set base codes for the selected unit.

To open the Base Profile tab, click the Update/ View Profile link on the Base Profile screen.

Note:  If the Retain Equipment Base/Option Values in the System Settings - Division tab is set to Y, the system retains the existing base and option code values already assigned to a unit, even when the base and option code values are changed. Changes can only be keyed manually on the Base & Options tab of an equipment profile.

If set to N, the system automatically changes existing base and option code values already assigned to a unit when they are changed on the Base Profile or Options screens. Changes cannot be manually entered on the Base & Options tab of an equipment profile.

The fields on the Base Profile tab are:

Field Description

The base number code for the equipment unit.

The Base Number along with options numbers, define the makeup of the equipment unit (Description, Make, Model, Group, Price, Cost, and Class) within the system.

Make The manufacturer of the unit.
Model

The model number on the unit.

Group

The unit's group code.

If the John Deere Group Codes for Incoming Units setting (on the System Settings - Division tab) is deactivated (N) and you change the group code in this field, the system will automatically apply the new group code to any JD MINT equipment profiles assigned to the selected base code.

A miscellaneous base code allows the user to overrides the make, model, description, and price fields.
