Defining tools

To define a tool, perform the following steps:

  1. Create a tool

    Use the Items (tcibd0501m000) session to create a tool. You must define an item of the type Tool with the supply source Purchase or Job Shop. 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.

  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.

  3. Set status to Active

    Set the Item Warehouse Status field in the Item Data by Warehouse (whwmd2510m000) session to Active.

  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.
