Hours (Equipment - Historical Costs)


The Hours tab enables you to display and define an equipment unit’s historical downtime and work delay hours.

To limit the display of information in the grid and maximize performance, use the filter. You can sort on equipment ID, month, and year. The default sort is year/month in descending order, so the most recent data is listed first.

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. This field has a list box of equipment unit IDs defined on the Data -> Equipment Units -> Fleet Equipment screen (unless there is a check in the Exclude from inventory lists field on the Authorization tab of that screen). If the ID already exists, the equipment unit year, manufacturer, and model display to the right of the ID. This field also has a Zoom button to the Data -> Equipment Units -> Fleet Equipment screen.

Month

The calendar month during which the costs occurred. May not be earlier than the date in the Delivery date field on the Acquisition tab of the Data -> Equipment Units -> Fleet Equipment screen nor later than the system date.

Calendar year

The calendar year during which the costs occurred. May not be earlier than the date in the Delivery date field on the Acquisition tab of the Data -> Equipment Units -> Fleet Equipment screen nor later than the system date.

Data in the fields in the bottom section of this tab define the equipment unit’s historical downtime and work delay hours. Unless otherwise indicated, these fields are optional.

For more information on downtime, go to the Downtime page.

Current and New

Current and new values for the equipment unit’s items that follow. Values in the Current column are display only. Type the new values in the New column. You may enter labor hours to two decimal places. This field is optional.

Downtime including user-caused

Accumulated number of hours, to date, the equipment unit has been inoperable. This field updates automatically when you place a check in the Shop downtime end field on the Basic Info tab of the Data -> Shop Activity -> Work Order Center screen. This field is display only.

User-caused downtime

An equipment unit accumulates user downtime from the date and time that the customer declares the unit's new equipment status to be OUT OF SERVICE or AVAILABLE FOR PM until the date and time it is declared back IN SERVICE. For work orders opened without a declaration that the unit is OUT OF SERVICE, user downtime begins at the date and time in specified on a work order screen.

If a customer fails to change the equipment status from WORK FINISHED to IN SERVICE, the application does so automatically during the next end-of-period daily processing.

Hours for user-caused downtime calculation are pulled from the calendar's work days. For example, if a shop works from 0800 hours to 2000 hours, the 12 hours of downtime between 0800-0200 is the only time that's added to the downtime calculation.

Work delay hours

This field shows the number of hours from work delay.
