Asset Repair Statuses

Dec 26, 2023

When you take broken assets out for repair, bring them back into service, or suggest a replacement, your client may require you to capture all these movements of assets into and out of locations. By using a set of predefined asset statuses, you keep your clients informed about asset movements into and out of service.

Here are the statuses that become available to you when the required feature is on.

Contact your client to learn how to start using Asset Repair Statuses.

Asset statuses within Asset Manager

Status

Definition

In Use

The asset is up and running. The default status of all assets.

Out For Repair

You cannot fix the faulty asset on-site and need to take it out of the location for repair.

Replacement Recommended

You advise your client to replace the malfunctioning asset with another one.

Repaired

The asset has been repaired and is waiting to be returned into service.

 Check the examples of situations when you may use asset statuses.

Use case example 1: You show up at the location to service a broken asset, but it turns out that the asset cannot be repaired on-site and needs to be taken out for repair. You move the asset to the Out For Repair status, which allows keeping all the people who manage or use the asset in the know about its whereabouts and state. It may also be required to temporarily install a different asset to avoid bringing the location operations to a standstill.

Use case example 2: Another scenario may be that you find it wiser and more cost-effective to replace a worn-out asset rather than service it over and over again. By moving such an asset into the Replacement Recommended status, you let your client know that installing a new asset will be a better decision than pouring money and efforts into repairs.
