Fleet Fields

The fields described below have special functions. For a complete list of available fields, see the Lucity Data Dictionary.

ID Fields

Fleet Rec ID *

The system-generated, unique ID for the Fleet vehicle.

Fleet ID **

The user-defined ID for this record. The Fleet ID consists of two fields: an alphanumerical code and a description or name.

Remember: When choosing a Fleet ID, the number must be unique in order to represent only one vehicle. Do not use a long, complex number, such as a vehicle identification number (VIN), or a number that is subject to change, such as a license plate. Instead, use a permanent number that may be easily seen when viewing the vehicle. The Fleet ID number should be retired when the vehicle is retired.

Asset Class

Sets the asset's class which is used to group together similar assets. The available list of classes come from records in the Asset Class Library that match this module.

Setting an Asset Class for a record can enable extra functionality with Class specific Forms and System Assembly Components.

* Required.
* Must be unique.

Linking Fields

Building ID	Assigns the vehicle to a specific Building. The list of Buildings comes from the Facility > Building > Building module.
Site ID	Assigns the vehicle to a specific Site. The list of Sites comes from the Facility > Site > Site Inventory module.
Work Employee *	Assigns the vehicle to an Employee. The list of Employees comes from the Work > Work Flow Setup > Employee module. A vehicle assigned to an employee appears in the Issued grid on his or her Employee record.
WO Equip Code *	Links a record in the Fleet Inventory to a record in the Work Flow Setup > Equipment Setup module. This function allows the Fleet vehicle to be used as a Resource on a Work Order, rather than as an Asset. (A Work Order Asset is the item that is being worked on. A Work Order Resource is an item used to complete the Work Order.) Enter the Equipment ID for the Work Flow Setup > Equipment Setup record to associate it with this Fleet record; or, Enter a new number in this field to automatically create a matching record in the Work Flow Setup > Equipment Setup module; or,
Vendor Rec #	Indicates the vendor the vehicle was purchased from. The list of Vendors comes from the Fleet > Warranties > Vendors module.

*If the agency does not own the Work program, this field is not available.

Status-Related Fields

The following Fleet record fields relate to the vehicle's operational status.

Operating Status

Indicates the status of the asset (e.g., operational, out-of-service, sold).

Note: Any record with a Status code above 950 is considered out of service. Anything below 950 is considered operational. No PMs can be generated for nonoperational vehicles (those with a status greater than 950).

MTBF

Calculates the Mean Time Between Failure; that is, the average amount of time the vehicle is operational between breakdowns. The system automatically calculates this field by:

Adding the Units Since Failure fields from the Status grid records;
Dividing the sum by the number of Units Since Failure fields that were actually filled out (rather than the total number of asset Status records).

Manuf MTBF

Stores the manufacturer's expected Mean Time Between Failure, allowing an agency to determine whether the vehicle needs to be replaced because it is failing more often than expected.

Email-Related Fields

Operator Email

Indicates the operator's Email address. When an address is provided, the system automatically sends the operator related Fleet Notifications.

Inspection-Related Fields

The following Fleet record fields provide information about inspections:

Last Inspection	Specifies the date that the asset was last inspected. The system automatically completes this field using the Inspection Date from the most recent Inspection record.
Inspection Freq	Indicates the number of (date) units between inspections.
Inspection Freq Units	Specifies the type of units between inspections (e.g., days, weeks, months, years).
Next Inspection	Projects the date the next inspection should occur. Users can filter records by the Next Inspection Date to identify vehicles that need to be inspected. The system calculates the date in one of two ways: If the Inspection Freq and Inspection Freq Units fields are populated, the system calculates the date of the next inspection using the Last Inspection date field. If the Inspection Freq and Inspection Freq Units fields are populated and a user had manually entered the Next Insp Date on the previous inspection, the program uses whichever date is sooner. Example: An inspection was completed on 8/15/2014. The user entered the Next Insp Date as 12/3/2014; however, the system-calculated date of the next inspection would be 8/15/2015. The system uses the nearer date, 12/3/2014, as the Next Inspection date.

Fueling-Related Fields

The following Fleet record fields provide data about about vehicle fueling.

Fuel Total Units	The total amount of fuel that has been consumed by the vehicle during its service. Calculated as the sum of the values in the Fuel Amount fields on all Fueling records found in the Fleet record's Fueling grid.
Fuel Total Cost	The total dollar amount spent on fuel for the vehicle during its service. Calculated as the sum of the values in the Total Fuel Cost fields on all Fueling records found in the Fleet record's Fueling grid.
Total Fluid Cost	The total dollar amount spent on fluids for the vehicle during its service. Calculated as the sum of the values in the Other Fluids fields on all Fueling records found in the Fleet record's Fueling grid.

Cost-Related Fields

The following Fleet record fields store information about the cost of the vehicle:

Purchase Date	The date the vehicle was purchased.
Purchase Amount	The dollar amount for which the vehicle was purchased.
Received Date	The date on which the agency took possession of the vehicle.
Service Life	The number of years that the vehicle is expected to be used before being retired.
Full Dep. Date	The date on which the vehicle will be depreciated or no longer be used. This date is auto-calculated as: Received Date + Service Life = Depreciation Date.
Salvage Value	An estimate of the dollar amount for which the vehicle can be sold or salvaged.
Dep. Amount	The current worth of the vehicle, which the system calculates as follows: Determine the number of months of service life (MSL): *Service Life12 = MSL Determine the date of the last full month (LFM) by noting the current date and determining the last day of the previous month. For example, if the system date = 4/7/2005, then the LFM = 3/31/2005; if the system date = 3/31/2005, then the LFM = 2/28/2005. Determine the first month of depreciation (FMD*) by looking at the Received Date. If the Received Date* is during the first half of the month (14th and before), that month is used. If the Received Date is during the second half of the month, the system considers the next month the FMD. For example, a Received Date of 4/14/2001 would set the FMD to 4/1/2001. A Received Date of 4/16/2001 would set the FMD to 5/1/2001. Determine the Months of Depreciation (MD): LFM - FMD = MD Apply the final formula: [MD(Purchase Amount - Salvage)]/MSL = Depreciation Amount
Book Value	The remaining value of the vehicle, which is calculated as: Purchase Amount - Depreciation Amount = Book Value
Replace Cost	The dollar amount necessary to replace the vehicle.
Hourly Cost	The price of operating this type of vehicle for one hour, which the system calculates as follows: Determine the Used Cost by averaging the value of the Used Cost field for all vehicles of the same Class. Determine the Total Average Hours by averaging the value of the Usable Hrs/Yr fields for all vehicles of the same Class. Apply the final formula: Used costs/Total Average Hours = Hourly Cost Note: The Fleet record must have a Status < 950 and a specified Class. Note: This calculation is performed when a user runs the Calculate Fleet Rate for.... toolkits.
Total Ins Cost	The sum of the Amount fields from all records in the Insurance Costs grid.

Evaluation Fields

The Fleet module's evaluation fields help agencies estimate the running cost of a vehicle. These fields can also be used to assess a vehicle's life span, based on running costs and recorded usage.

Users supply the data for certain evaluation fields (which appear in white in the module), while other fields are calculated automatically by the system (and are grayed out in the module).

User-Populated Fields

The fields highlighted in color in the screenshot below must to be populated by the user before the system can calculate values for other fields.

Calculated Fields

Once a user supplies the pertinent data and the record is saved, the system automatically calculates values for the remaining fields, which relate to the current state of the vehicle. These system-calculated fields are highlighted in color in the screenshot below.

calcualted eval fields

The data that the system uses to calculate these fields come from Fleet Fueling, Inspection, Work Order, Travel Log, and Reset records for the vehicle. When the system detects that such a record has been created (that is, the record has a more recent date and higher meter reading), Lucity updates the system-calculated fields.

Lucity updates these values each night, as well as when a user saves or refreshes the Fleet record.


Current Amounts
Current Date	The last date that any Work or a Fueling, Travel Log, or Reset was recorded for the vehicle.
Most Current Time	The last time that any Work or a Fueling, Travel Log, or Reset was recorded on the date above. This field allows multiple records of the previously listed types to occur on the same day.
Current Odometer Current Hourmeter Current Other Meter	The most recent meter reading, the source of which may be a Fueling, Inspection, Travel Log, Work Order, or Reset record.
Vehicle Usage
Amount Used Date	The number of years the vehicle has been in service. Calculated as: Current Date - Start Date.

Tire-Related Fields

The following Fleet fields are used to record how many rear tire slots exist on a vehicle. This data is required if a user wants to attach Tire records to a Fleet record.

# of Rear Axles

Indicates how many rear axles are on the vehicle. (Lucity assumes every vehicle has one front axle.)

This value tells the program how many axles to display.

Axle 1

Axle 2

Axle 3

Records whether each rear axle has one or two tires on each side. (Lucity assumes that the front axle has one tire on each side.)

Common Fields

Custom Fields

Lucity Web includes a variety of empty fields that an agency can customize to meet its needs. The number of custom fields available varies by module.

Custom fields can be designed as one of the following types:

Pick-List	Lets users select a value (code/type) from an agency-defined list.
Alphanumeric	Allows users to enter letters or numbers in any combination.
Check-box	Used to indicate yes/no or on/off.
Numerical	Accepts numbers only.
Date	Provides a pop-up calendar to enable the user to select a date.

Last Modified Fields

Last Modified By	The login ID of the last Lucity user to change the record.
Last Modified Date	The date that the record was last updated.
Last Modified Time	The time of day at which the record was last updated.

Work-Related Fields

The following asset fields are related to Work Orders, PMs and/or Requests:

Default WO Cat ***	Lets users establish a default Category for the Asset. When a Work Order is created for the Asset, the default Category and related asset information are imported into the new Work Order record. Multiple Categories are available in the pick-list.
No WO/PM/REQ ***	When enabled, users cannot create Work Orders, PMs, or Requests for that Asset. The Asset also no longer appears in the selection dialog boxes for WO/PM/Request modules. This function is useful for assets that are logged in Lucity, but have been retired.
Maintenance Zone *	Enables agencies to group Assets based on a location. The Maintenance Zone value is then carried over to the Work Order, where it can be used to automatically assign a Supervisor. This field is most easily populated through GIS.
Alternate Zone *	Enables users to group Assets based on a secondary location parameter of an agency's choosing. The Alternate Zone is then carried over to the Work Order. This field is most easily populated through GIS.
WO Comment	Enables user to include information relevant to the Work Order. Information that a user enters here is copied to the Work Order > Asset > Asset Comment field.

* Applies to PMs.
* Applies to Requests.
* Applies to Work Orders.
