Maintaining Tools by Tool Type

For each tool you record:

  • Usage data
  • Refurbishing data
  • Status

If you add a tool, LN generates an adjustment order which can be viewed in the Adjustment Orders (whinh5120m000) session. The adjustment order is generated and automatically processed for the warehouse that you entered in the Tool Numbers (titrp0102m000) session. The reason for adjustment equals the reason defined in the Reason for Adjustment Order field in the Tool Planning Parameters (titrp0100s000) session. The available inventory for the tool in the Warehouse - Item Inventory (whwmd2515m000) session is increased when you add a tool.

When a tool is scrapped, LN also generates an adjustment order which can be viewed in the Adjustment Orders (whinh5120m000) session. The adjustment reason equals the reason defined in the Default Scrap Reason field in the Tool Planning Parameters (titrp0100s000) session.

Due to financial transactions, you must enter a purchase office for the particular tool. You can define a purchase office as follows:

  • Use the Items - Purchase (tdipu0101m000) session to enter the item purchase data for this tool.
  • Use the Purchase User Profiles (tdpur0143m000) session to check the user defaults.
  • Use the Buy-from Business Partners (tccom4520m000) session to maintain the business partner data for this tool.

If you plan production orders, operations of the routing are also planned. If you plan service orders, the tools linked to the service activities are also planned. The planning is based on the tool type and the Planning Method session specified for the tool type.

If you close operations of a Production Order and/or service activities of an Service Order, and actual costing took place, the tool's usage field is updated.
