| Use this session to modify the estimated tool requirements for production orders, and to list tool requirements for service orders, and work orders. Tool requirements include data about the tool, and about the number of hours or times that the tool 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 shop floor 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. Note You can only modify production orders. For more information on modifying order types, refer to the field Help of Order Type.

Fields | Description
Order Type | The type of order for which you can plan the tool availability. If a production order has the Scheduled status, you cannot alter its tool requirements. Note You can only modify the estimated tools requirements for production orders. The work orders and service orders requirements are maintained in Service. If you click the New Group button, only production orders are displayed. The Order Type field is disabled. To access work orders and service orders, press CTRL + F. The Estimated Tool Requirements - Find window pops up, and you can select your order from the Order Type field.
Order Number | This field represents the types of orders for which you can plan the tool availability. If a production order has the Scheduled status, you cannot alter its tool requirements. Note There can only be one estimated tool requirement present for a refurbishing order. No line number or activity line is specified for the refurbishing order.
Sequence Number | The number that identifies a data record or a step in a sequence of activities. Sequence numbers are used in a large variety of contexts. Usually ERP LN generates the sequence number for the next item or step. Depending on the context, you can overwrite this number. You can sometimes influence the numbering by setting the corresponding parameters.
Operation | One of a series of steps in a routing that are carried out successively to produce an item. The following data is collected during a routing operation: The task. For example, sawing. The machine used to carry out the task (optional). For example, sawing machine. The place where the task is carried out (work center). For example, woodwork. The number of employees required to carry out the task. This data is used to compute order lead times, to plan production orders and to calculate cost prices.

Operation Step | A suboperation connected to a routing operation. An operation step can contain information such as, instructions, process information, and tools information. Related topics Microrouting
Line Number | The line number for which the tool is issued. This field is only relevant for service orders and work orders.
Activity Line | The activity line for which the tool is issued. This field is only relevant for refurbishing orders from Service.

Some examples of tool types are: Hammer Screwdriver Wheelbarrows Hammer 1, screwdriver 2 and wheelbarrow 3 are examples of tool types in combination with a tool serial number, and represent unique tools. Tooltypes are defined in the Tool Types (titrp0101m000) session.
Tool Serial Number | A number to identify a tool. The combination of a tool type, for example, hammer, and a tool serial number, for example, 1, results in a unique identification of a tool in ERP LN. The tool serial number is defined in the Tools by Tool Type (titrp0102m000) session.
Use in TRP Planning | If this check box is selected, the tool is used for planning purposes as well as printed on the production order documents for instruction purposes. If this check box is cleared, the tool is only printed by operation on the production order documents, and not used for tool planning purposes.
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.
Tool Usage | Amount of the tool's life that will be used during the operation or activity. When reporting operations complete for SFC Production Order and service activities for Service Order, the tool's remaining tool life is reduced by the amount specified in this field. 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.
