Estimated Tool Requirements (titrp0111m000)

Use this session to modify the estimated tool requirements for production orders, production schedules, and to list tool requirements for service orders, and work orders.

Tool requirements include data about the tool, and the number of hours or times that it is required to perform an operation, or activity. Tool requirements do not specify the work center where the tool is used. You can maintain tools that are estimated to be issued, or tools that are planned for the job shop or the service center. The estimated tool requirements for service orders or work orders are only displayed.

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

Note: You can only modify production orders. For more information on modifying order types, refer to the field Help of Order Type.

Note: There can only be one estimated tool requirement present for a refurbishing order. For a refurbishing order, the Line field is always filled.

Tool's Life Based On

The tool's life can be based on the number of times the tool can be used or the number of hours the tool can perform.

You can maintain the tool usage field to plan the tool for a longer time, such as for refurbishing reasons.

The Tool's Life Based On is expressed in the Number of Times Used or the Number of Hours Used, depending on the default entered in Tool's Life Based On field in the Estimated Tool Requirements (titrp0111m000) session.
