Requesting and Returning Tools

You can request or return one or more tools for a specific range of:

  • Orders
  • Operations
  • Operation steps
  • Line numbers
  • Activity lines

If you select Return in the Action field, you can indicate on the second tab of the session to where you want to return the tool:

  • Transfer tools to the warehouse
  • Transfer tools to the work center/service center
  • Return tools to an order

If you do not indicate to where a tool is transferred, the tool is transferred by default to the next requirement. For more information, refer to Transfer tools to the next requirement.

Request status

If a tool is requested or returned, the status of the request changes. If a tool is requested, the status changes from Available to Requested. If a tool is returned, the status changes from Requested to Available.
