Linking Operation/Operation Step - Tools

To link tools to an operation

• If the sequence in which the tools are presented on the production order documents is not important, you can link tools directly to an operation.

  To link tools to an operation:

  • Select a record in the Routing Operations (tirou1102m000) session.
  • On the appropriate menu, click Tools.
  • The Operation (Step) - Tools (tirou1110m000) session starts, in which you can link one or more tools to an operation.
• These tools are presented directly below the operation number on production order documents.

To link tools to an operation step

Tools information linked to operation steps can indicate, for example, which tools are required to carry out a specific operation.

To add several tools to a specific operation in a specified order, you must link a tool to an operation step. After you defined operation steps for the operation in the Operation Steps (tirou1105m000) session, you can link one or more tools to each operation step.

• Select an operation step in the Operation Steps (tirou1105m000) session for the correct item/routing/operation combination.
• On the appropriate menu, click Tools.
• The Operation (Step) - Tools (tirou1110m000) session starts, in which you can link one or more tools to an operation step.

Default value

If the current session is started for an operation that makes use of a task relationship to which tools are linked in the Task Relationship - Tools (tirou0115m000) session, the tools from the Task Relationship - Tools (tirou0115m000) session are defaulted to the current session. When operation steps are added, these defaults are removed again.

You can list and define the tools that are required for an actual production order's operation in the Estimated Tool Requirements (titrp0111m000) session. Based on the data in the current session, tools information is defaulted to the Estimated Tool Requirements (titrp0111m000) session on operation level, or on operation step level.

However, in the Estimated Tool Requirements (titrp0111m000) session, you can link additional tools to an operation, or to an operation step of an actual production order in the following ways:

• By inserting a new record
• By starting the Operation (Step) - Tools (tirou1110m000) session, in which you can define additional default tools information. To start the Operation (Step) - Tools (tirou1110m000) session, select a record in the Estimated Tool Requirements (titrp0111m000) session and on the appropriate menu, click Operation/Operation Step - Tools.
