Status changes
When you no longer need to use a capability, you can change the status of that record to inactive. You can change the status for a capability record or can change the status for an individual maintenance record. For example, if a certain maintenance location loses its certification, you can change the capability for only that location to inactive. Other locations and vendors can still have the capability.
Capability status changes
If you change the status of a capability to inactive, that capability cannot be associated with a maintenance location. However, maintenance location records that are already associated with the capability are unaffected by this change in capability status.
In the Capability application, you use the Change Status action to change the status of capabilities.
Capabilities status changes for maintenance locations
You can change the status of a capability associated with a maintenance location record. The status change of the capability is applicable only for that maintenance location record; the overall status of the capability is not changed.
