Defining toolsTo define a tool, perform the following steps: Defining tools Step 1. Create a tool Use the Items (tcibd0501m000) session to create a tool. Therefore, you must define an item with the Purchased item type. The item-type specification must be Tool. From the Items (tcibd0501m000) session, you must also define subentities, such as, costing data, warehousing data, purchase data, and ordering data. Calculate the standard cost for the newly defined tool. Note: Only standard purchased items can be used as a tool. Customized purchased items do not exist as a tool. Step 2. Define tool type Use the Tools (titrp0101m000) session to define the tool type in the Tools Requirement Planning module. Here, you can specify the general and refurbishing details of the tool type. Step 3. Set status to Active Set the Item Warehouse Status field in the Item Data by Warehouse (whwmd2510m000) session to Active. Step 4. Define tools Use the Tool Numbers (titrp0102m000) session to define tools for the tool type. Every tool type gets a tool serial number. You can specify the general and refurbishing details of each tool. Note: The serial number of a tool is displayed in the Serialized Items (tcibd4501m000) session.
