| # Availability Planning (titrp0513m000) Use this session to list orders that make use of a critical tool. The orders are sorted on the basis of the start date of the order that is displayed in the Start Date field. For every order, the tool requirements are indicated. Related topics Tools planning and tracking 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. Start Date The start date of, for example, the operation or activity for which the tool is used. End Date The end date of, for example, the operation or activity for which the tool is used. Kind of Order The order type for which the tools requirements are displayed. Order Number The number of the order. 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. Line Number The line number of the service order for which the time phased availability of tools is performed. Activity Line The activity line on the service order for which the tool is issued. Sequence Number The number that identifies a data record or a step in a sequence of activities. Sequence numbers are used in many contexts. Usually ERP Enterprise 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. 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 Enterprise. Required Tool Usage The required tool usages are expressed in the number of times that the tool is used, or in the amount of hours that the tool is used. The quantity of required usages are deducted from value in the Tool's Life field. Note If the Tool's Life Based On field is Not Applicable this field is empty. Tool's Life Based On The measurement upon which the tool's life is based. Operation Step The operation step for which the tool is planned. This field is only applicable if the Kind of Order field in the current session is SFC Production Order. |
