Modifying Estimated Tool Requirements

Tool requirements include data about the tool, and about the number of hours or times that the tool is required to perform an operation or activity. Tool requirements do not specify the work center where the tool is used. You can maintain tools that are estimated to be issued, or tools that are planned for the shop floor or the service center. The estimated tool requirements for service orders or work orders are only displayed.

The availability planning for actual orders is generated by means of the Availability Planning (titrp0513m000) session, after the orders have been entered in this session.

Note

You can only modify production orders. For more information on modifying order types, refer to the field Help of Order Type.

Specific menu

The estimated tool requirements can be returned to the next requirement, to a warehouse, work center, or another order by using the Request and Return Tools (titrp0215m000) session. This session is started by clicking Request and Return Tools from the appropriate menu.

Click Tool Requests from the specific menu to start the Tool Requests (titrp0515m000) session. In this session you can view whether a tool is available at the work center or the service center.

Note

There can only be one estimated tool requirement present for a refurbishing order. For a refurbishing order, the Line No./Act. Line field is always filled.
