Machine - Tools (tirou0110m000)

Tools often belong to a specific machine. Use this session to link default tools to a machine.

Default value

If you linked tools to a specific machine in the current session, and you define a task relationship in the Task Relationships (tirou0104m000) session in which the relevant machine is involved, LN automatically links the defined tools to the task relationship in the Task Relationship - Tools (tirou0115m000) session.

Machines are linked to operation rates. The operation rate and the labor rate together form the basis for the actual costing of production orders.

Sequence Number

Tool
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.

Tool Kit
