Decommissioning an Entity

Entities like site, building, floor, space, or asset are decommissioned temporarily to deactivate their functioning. Once an entity is decommissioned, it is withdrawn from functioning and cannot be used until recommissioned. For instance, let us consider the decommissioning of a building.
