| # Tool Components (titrp0106s000) Use this session to link components to a multipiece tool. You can only assign a component to a multipiece tool if the Tool's Life Based On that is defined in the Tool Types (titrp0101m000) session is the same for the component tool as well as the multipiece tool. Note If the multipiece tool status is New or Available, you cannot link components with the Blocked status to the multipiece tool. If a multipiece tool is linked to a routing or to a tool kit that is used in the Operation/Operation Step - Tools (tirou1110m000) session, you cannot delete the tool. You can print the tool components on the production order documents using the Print Production Order Documents (tisfc0408m000) session. Related topics Defining tools Tool status Tool requirements planning Tool Type The tool type is the first level that is used to identify the tool in the coding system for tools. 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. The tool type's tool class (defined in the Tool Types (titrp0101m000) session) is Multipiece Tool. Description The description or name of the code. 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. Position Sequence number that represents the position of the component. Life Time Serial Number A number to identify a tool. A lifetime serial number can be, for example, a combination of the functional number and the year of purchase. Lifetime serial numbers are used to group the components of a multipiece tool. Multipiece tools without a lifetime serial number can have components linked either with or without lifetime serial numbers. Example A multipiece tool X has a life time serial number 1990. One of the following must be true for the tool's components: The lifetime serial number of the components is the same as the multipiece tool (that is, 1990). The components that are linked to the multipiece tool do not have a lifetime serial number. Note For best results, a multipiece tool and all its components must have the same lifetime serial number. A multipiece tool is defined in the Tool Components (titrp0506m000) session. You cannot modify this field if the tool is either used as a multipiece tool or as a component in the Tool Components (titrp0506m000) session. Component Tool Type The component that is linked to the multipiece tool defined in the Tool Type field. The component is a tool type defined in the Tool Types (titrp0101m000) session. The tool type's tool class must be Tool Component. Description The description of the component tool type. Component Tool Serial Number The tool serial number of the component.
