List of statuses

• In preparation: The Asset is currently being defined in the application but cannot yet be used.
• Pending validation: The definition is complete but requires validation by a manager.
• Validated: The Asset is available. Available to WRs and work orders.
• Servicing/Out of order: A work order has been validated or is in progress on an Asset. If it is specified in the work order (check box) that:
  • The Asset is out of order, then its status will be switched to "out of order,"
  • The work order requires shutdown of the Asset, then the item switches to the "servicing" status.
  • When closing the work order, if the user specifies that the Asset is repaired, it will change back to the "Validated" status.
    It is possible to change the Asset from one status to another from its detail sheet.
• Scrapped: The Asset cannot be used; it can no longer be part of a work order. This status can be temporary.
• Canceled: The Asset can no longer be referenced in work orders or elsewhere. This status is irreversible.

To change the status of the Asset, see Changing the status of an element .

Lifecycle of an asset

1 - Creation of an asset

An Asset is installed within an organization. It has been created in CARL Source, is in preparation, pending validation, or already validated.

Once its description is completed, the creator can:

• Validate the Asset,
• Request the approval of another person, changing the Asset to the "Pending validation" status.

Once the Asset has been validated, it can be used in a work order, a Work order plan, etc.
 

2 - Work order on equipment

A user validates a work order on the Asset.

• If the Asset is declared "out of order" on the work order, it changes to the "Out of order" status.
• The work order is indicated as requiring shutdown of the Asset, then the item switches to the "Servicing" status.

Once the work order is closed, if the Asset has been repaired it changes to the "Validated" status.

3 - End of lifecycle

If, at the end of a work order, the Asset cannot be repaired, the user "scraps" it.

This has the effect of:

1. Closing the links to the immediate parents,
2. Deactivating the Work order plan linked to this Asset,
3. Filling the end of validity date (with today's date) in references to this Asset in contract periods.

As long as the scrapped Asset has not changed to the "Canceled" status, it can be rehabilitated and therefore switch to the validated status.
If, however, the Asset has changed to the "Canceled" status, it can never be used again.
