Can condition codes be set to characteristics other than 100% in Maximo?

Condition codes in Maximo can indeed be set to characteristics other than 100%, especially in special cases where specific business logic or operational needs require it. This flexibility allows organizations to tailor the condition codes to better reflect the actual status or usability of assets and materials.

For example, a condition code of less than 100% might be relevant for items that are still considered usable but may have some wear or defects. In such instances, managing these assets appropriately leads to more accurate inventory management and operational efficiency.

The ability to set different condition codes opens up possibilities for better reporting, asset lifecycle management, and more informed decision-making when it comes to maintenance and replacement strategies.

Other options, such as always maintaining condition codes at 100% or restricting their assignment based on user permissions or item types, do not account for the practical applications and flexibility that organizations need to effectively manage their assets.
