		<Paragraph>The availability planning of tools in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/trp/titrp0513m000" role="session">Availability Planning (titrp0513m000)</GUIRef> session is done for tools that are linked to items that occur on planned production orders. The data maintained in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/trp/titrp0507m000" role="session">Tools by Item (titrp0507m000)</GUIRef> session is only used for tools that are linked to items on planned production orders from <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/ina" role="module">Inventory Analysis</GUIRef> module or from the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/rrp" role="module">Resource Requirement Planning</GUIRef> module.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>The tool requirements planning of these orders is not based on the routings of the ordered items. The planning is based on the <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#LeadTime.ti" role="glossary">order lead</Link> time and <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#000000000000041" role="glossary">offset</Link> of the tools linked to the items. When the orders are released to the shop floor, a more detailed (routing based) tool requirements planning is done.</Paragraph>
