# Set up equipment categories

To use equipment in project quotations and projects, the ‘**Equipment**’ transaction type is available. Define the categories for equipment in the same way as categories for hours.

Set up the equipment categories and related information to use equipment journal entries in your projects. You can set up equipment in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Asset management or in **Project Control Suite - Asset Management**.
