Estimate Work Request Job Content - Tools

Outcome

A tool requirement is defined for the work request operation. The system will create two material requirements in (MMS080), one positive and one negative. This record will have an order category of 640 for the tools issue and 650 for the tools return. The information is stored in the work request operation element (MMPOPS) file.

Performing these instructions makes sure that the required tools are available for use when the work needs to be performed.

Before you start

• The starting conditions listed in Estimating Job Content must be met.
• A tool must be correctly defined in 'Item. Open' (MMS001). Note that the J panel in 'Item. Open' (MMS001) defines how the tool will be processed later in the work order cycle.
• The order type in (CRS200) must be correctly defined with the 'Type of order number check' parameter set to 6. The order type should be defaulted against the maintenance order type in (MOS120).
