Service Management – Reset Equipment Status

Home / Blog / Service Management – Reset Equipment Status

In a previous post I talked about the equipment status.  This field can be very powerful, but at times, it’s very painful.  I have run into issues the status doesn’t get set or reset properly after certain transactions.  Today I want to talk about how to reset equipment status.

Once inside of the equipment record, edit–>special serial number functions –>manual transaction.  The manual transaction is the equivalent of the equipment status reset.  It allows you to force the status (remember, this won’t impact the stock)

that will bring up this nice pop-up window that presents you with the following options:

To stock: ESTO
From Stock: add AVLBTo Customer: ECUS
From Customer: ESTO
Delete Assign to HU: Clears the handling unit
Delete Inv. Assign: clears inventory connection

Save, and should be able to continue with your transactions.
Good luck and thanks for reading.

  1. Sir,
    preset equipment status is ESTO,in what transaction this status will change to ECUS.this status should change with some transaction not from manually.

    1. You can reset these status manually, but by default, ESTO and ECUS are set by inbound and outbound deliveries. Upon creating an outbound delivery to the customer, the equipment status is set to ECUS. Please note, this only occurs if you add the serial number to the delivery.
      Upon doing an inbound delivery with the serial number, the equipment status will be set to ESTO.
      Does this answer your question?
      Thanks,
      Mike
