Modifying Estimated Tool Requirements

Tool requirements include data about the tool, and about the number of hours or times that the tool is required to perform an operation or activity. You can maintain tools that are estimated to be issued, or tools that are planned for the job shop or the service center.

The availability planning for actual orders is generated by means of the Availability Planning (titrp0513m000) session, after the orders have been entered in Estimated Tool Requirements (titrp0111m000) session.

Specific menu

The estimated tool requirements can be returned to the next requirement, to a warehouse, work center, or another order by using the Request and Return Tools (titrp0215m000) session. This session is started by clicking Request and Return Tools from the appropriate menu.

Click Tool Requests from the specific menu to start the Tool Requests (titrp0515m000) session. In this session you can view whether a tool is available at the work center or the service center.
