	<GeneralSection><Paragraph>When a tool is requested, SSA ERP checks if there is a <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#000051" role="glossary">tool</Link> request present in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/trp/titrp0515m000" role="session">Tool Requests (titrp0515m000)</GUIRef> session for the tool work-center combination.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>If there is no request present at the work center, SSA ERP creates a request. Next, SSA ERP plans the tool requests available in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/trp/titrp0515m000" role="session">Tool Requests (titrp0515m000)</GUIRef> session, based on the earliest request date and the highest priority.</Paragraph>

			<Paragraph>If there is no request for the tool at any other work center or service center, this request has the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/domains/trp.rqst#aval" role="enum">Available</GUIRef> status.</Paragraph>
		</Note>
		<Paragraph>If the tool has already been requested at another work center or service center, the new request has the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/domains/trp.rqst#requ" role="enum">Requested</GUIRef> status.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>SSA ERP updates the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/trp/titrp0111s000#titrp011.usst" role="formfield">Tool Requirement Status</GUIRef> field in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/trp/titrp0511m000" role="session">Estimated Tool Requirements (titrp0511m000)</GUIRef> session and the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/trp/titrp0102s000#titrp002.stat" role="formfield">Tool Status</GUIRef> field in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/trp/titrp0502m000" role="session">Tools by Tool Type (titrp0502m000)</GUIRef> session.</Paragraph>
