Asset Downtime

You can enter and update the planned and actual start and end dates and times that an asset will not be available for use by clicking a link in the Work Order component, accessing the Downtime Entry component, and clicking a link in the Technician Workbench in PeopleSoft Maintenance Management. You select a Downtime Reason, which you must set up in advance. You can review an asset's downtime history from PeopleSoft Maintenance Management via the Asset Downtime Review component. When the work order is closed, PeopleSoft Maintenance Management updates downtime for the asset in the Asset Maintenance History in PeopleSoft Asset Management.

Important:

The entry of asset downtime in PeopleSoft Maintenance Management does not control whether or not you can schedule the asset. Downtime is informational only, and does not drive functionality.
