Alternative Tool Types (titrp0505m000)Use this session to list alternative tool types. You can maintain alternative tool type data, in the Alternative Tool Types (titrp0105s000) details session. If you have started this session by zooming, you can only find and select a record. Note If you enter an alternative tool type, LN compares the cost rates and the sales rate of the alternative tool type and the main tool type. The cost rates and the sales rates are defined at the tool type level. Since multicurrency is applicable for the cost rate (meaning, cost rate can be stored in three different currencies), the comparison for the cost rate is performed based on the home currency. If the cost rate or the sales rates differ, LN displays a warning message. The cost rate and the sales rate tool must be the same to prevent problems with costing of this tool type.
