Question:
Blaine from Ottowa, Canada asks:
In Maximo version 6.2.2 why can't a user re-issue their asset that was removed from operating for repair back into it's original operating location? The error message received states " Asset and rotating asset cannot be the same ." In my situation I have redundant systems that don’t require spares as I can send the broken unit out for repair and re-install once received back from repair. This functionality was available in Maximo 4.

Question:
Errant meter readings were potentially and actually causing PM’s to generate early. Managing meter history has worked to resolve them, but a method is needed to draw attention to the problem the day it occurs:
I am still looking for a way to flag meter readings that appear too high. Can this be done with and escalation? I did not see the 'meterreading' object in the list of escalation objects. I thought that the escalation would occur when meterreading.delta > 200 and communicate this to the planner and engineering manager through a communication template.
What would it take to make the meterreading object available as an escalation object?

We just started to use 6.2 in a test environment. In the Asset Module I don't have the change status icon or menu (in the select action). Is it a Security Profile or design problem? Can you help me out?
