Add Tool Requirements to Service Revision

This document explains how you link a tool to a service revision.

Outcome

A tool that is used in an operation is linked.

The tool will be reserved and allocated to a job.

Information about the tool is stored in the Operation routing description (APDOPS) table.

Before you start

  • An operation must be linked to the service revision in 'Service Revision. Connect Operations and Materials' (ECS312).
  • The tool must exist in 'Item. Open' (MMS001), 'Item. Connect Warehouse' (MMS002) and 'Item. Connect Facility' (MMS003).

Follow these steps

  1. Start 'Service Revision. Open' (ECS300/B).

  2. Highlight the service revision to which you want to connect new tools and select option 12='Product structure' to display 'Service Revision. Connect Operations and Materials' (ECS312/B).

  3. Highlight the operation to which you want to connect a tool and select option 13='Operation elements' to display 'Service Revision. Connect Op Element' (ECS313/B).

  4. Enter an element number, element type 3 for skills and the tool number. Select New to display the E panel.

  5. Enter a serial number if the tool is serialized and you require a specific serial number, and enter a setup time to indicate how much time is required to prepare the tool (optional). Press Enter to finish.

    If no serial number is entered, one will be allocated during the work order process.
