Status


The Status tab enables you to define status information for equipment units.

The Asset Primary screen supports department-level and location level access control, so you must belong to a user group with the applicable authorizations to make changes or updates.

Detail View Header

The field in the top section of this tab defines the data that displays.

Equipment ID

Identifier of the equipment unit currently selected in the grid or that you are defining. This field has a list box. The equipment unit year, manufacturer, and model display to the right of the ID.

When you insert an equipment unit with an asset category that supports automatic numbering and this field is blank, the system generates an equipment ID that follows the format specified in the Custom ID structure field on the Data -> Equipment Units -> Setup -> Asset Categories screen. If you specify an ID and the equipment’s asset category supports automatic numbering, the ID is not overwritten.

Whether an asset category supports automatic numbering is specified on the Data -> Equipment Units -> Setup -> Asset Categories screen.

Asset type

The type of asset.

Detail View

Data in the fields in the bottom section of this tab define status information for equipment units. Unless otherwise indicated, these fields are required.

Life cycle status code ID

Identifier of the user-defined life-cycle status code (refer to the Data -> Equipment Units -> Setup -> Life-Cycle Status Codes screen). Required to insert an equipment ID. Equipment units are tracked through their entire life cycle, from ordering to disposition, by their life-cycle status code ID. This field has a list box. The life-cycle status description displays to the right of the ID.

The authorization settings for an equipment ID (see the Authorization tab), as well as the unit's life-cycle status, control whether a unit can have fuel, usage, or work orders, or be assigned to a motor pool. To assign the unit to a motor pool, the Status category field on the Life-Cycle Status Codes screen must indicate that the unit is ACTIVE.

Equipment to be assigned to an Equipment Planning project for replacement must have a life-cycle status code that matches the one in the Life-cycle status code ID field on the Equipment Replaced tab of the Data -> Equipment Management -> Planning -> Projects screen.

Use the PROCUREMENT life-cycle status code to enter a new vehicle.

Do not change this ID to one that does not have a check in the Status denotes that unit is active field (on the Data -> Equipment Units -> Setup -> Life-Cycle Status Codes screen) until you are certain that you have run the end-of-period equipment usage for month processing after posting all usage ticket charges for the equipment unit. That processing excludes equipment units assigned to life-cycle status IDs which do not designate that the equipment unit is active.

The Equipment Count tab on the Data -> Equipment Units -> Setup -> Options screen displays the current count of active equipment units.
