Unit Status codes define the stage of use or condition of a unit during its fleet life cycle. These Unit Status Codes are hard coded in the system and control what application functions can be performed on the unit.
You can modify the Label or Description of any Unit Status Code. The Trigger Field is read-only and identifies what event will trigger a unit to be designated with that Unit Status Code.
There are nine Yes/No drop down fields for each Unit Status Codes:
Disposal Status – certain codes cannot be disposal statuses and certain codes have to be disposal statuses. For codes that must have a certain designation, the drop down is read-only and grayed out.
Work Orders – this drop down controls whether or not units with this Unit Status Code can have work orders opened against them.
Work Request – same as the work orders drop down, this will control whether or not units can have work requests opened against them.
Forecaster – this controls whether or not units with the unit status codes will be included when the batch process Forecaster is executed. For example, you may want to exclude any units in a Totaled status from Forecaster.
Reports – this controls whether units with this status will show up on reports. You may want to exclude all sold units for reporting purposes.
Capital – this controls whether or not Capitalized Cost information is allowed on the Unit Accounting frame.
Allow Sales Info – this controls whether sales information can be entered on the Unit Disposal frame for units. Certain non-disposal statuses will have this field grayed out and the ‘Sold’ Disposal Status will also have this field grayed out.
Allow Unit Group – controls whether or not to allow units to be assigned to a Unit Group.
Renew VED License – this drop down controls Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) license renewal.
The Notes field is free form and can be changed for all Unit Status Codes, it can hold up to 4000 characters.
