| 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. Tool Type The tool type is the first level that is used to identify the
tool in the coding system for tools. Some examples of tool types are: - Hammer
- Screwdriver
- Wheelbarrows
Hammer 1, screwdriver 2 and wheelbarrow 3 are examples of
tool types in combination with a tool serial number, and represent unique
tools. Description The tool type The description or name of the code.. Alternative Tool Type Alternative tool types are considered as a substitute for tool types that are not
available for use. This situation occurs if a tool is being
refurbished. Description The alternative tool type The description or name of the code.. Priority Priority arranges alternative tool types according to their suitability as substitute. Tool types with
the lowest value, for example 1, have the highest priority. You can define two or more alternative tool types for one
tool type. If these tool types have the same priority, the tool type that you
select first is used for the tool requirements planning. | |
