Changing an asset’s or a building element’s status
You can assign a status to an asset or building element.
• Acquired - this status is automatically assigned to a new asset or building element.
• In use - select this status for assets / building elements that are actually used and maintained.
• Idle - select this status for assets / building elements that are temporarily out of use.
• Disposed - only assets / building elements that are definitely disposed of can be transferred to the archive.
Procedure
1. Go to the Assets selection level, click the asset(s)/ building element(s) whose status you want to change.
 | To change the status of several assets/building elements simultaneously, use Action on selection. For details on using Action on selection, see Fundamentals. |
2. On the Status transitions action panel, click the required status.
Please note that changing the status to Disposed of has consequences for any associated (maintenance) activity definitions. They are either:
◦ Deleted, if no maintenance orders have been generated yet.
◦ Updated, if maintenance orders have already been generated. The (maintenance) activity definition’s end date-time will be brought forward to the end date-time of the last generated order.
| | Depending on which Planon solution you use to maintain assets, see either Planned Maintenance or Activity Planner for more information. |
