Machines

To begin the process of procuring and utilizing machines - the Machine must be registered in OMNI. Machines have a 3-level classification in OMNI.

• Level 1 - Machine Group: This is the top-most level of the Machine classification hierarchy and denotes the type of the Machine - common examples include Construction Equipment, Motor Vehicle, Furniture & Fixtures etc. A common way of classifying Groups is by the Depreciation Rate to be used for the machine.
