Transfer tools to the next requirement

LN checks if there are more tool request details present at the work center where the tool is currently in use.

If there are more tool request details present in the Tool Request - Lines (titrp0516m000) session, tools are transferred to these requirements. If there are no more request details present, tools are assigned to a new request.

The new request to which the tool is assigned is priority-dependent:

  • First, tools are assigned to orders for work centers of type line station. The tool is transferred to the order with the earliest Request Date/Time and the highest order priority.
  • Next, tools are assigned to orders for work centers of type line segment. The tool is transferred to the order with the earliest Request Date/Time and the highest order priority.
  • If there are no requests from work centers of type line station or line segment the tool is allocated to the order with the earliest Request Date/Time and the highest order priority.
Note

If there is no request for the tool, the status of the tool is set to Available.

When a tool is transferred to the next requirement for a tool request detail or for a new tool request, the status of the request is set to Available. The request status Available means that the tool is present at the work center or the service center that is linked to the request. LN selects the Tool Present check box.
