            <Paragraph>The <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/trp" role="module">Tools Requirement Planning</GUIRef> module is used to check the availability of the
			 tools for the planned production orders in <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp" role="package">Enterprise Planning</GUIRef> and
			 Warehouse Management. An availability check is also performed for tools when
			 they are planned for actual production orders in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/sfc" role="module">Shop Floor Control</GUIRef> module
			 and the service order in the Service Order Control modules. If applicable, ERP Enterprise automatically
			 displays an alternative tool when the required tool is not
			 available.</Paragraph>

      <Paragraph>When a tool kit is released, all of the relevant tool kits are
		released simultaneously. By using ERP Enterprise a tool that consists of multiple detachable components can be
		composed. To perform an operation a complete set of tool components is
		needed.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>Based on the comparison between the planned life (in times used
		or hours used) and the actual used of the tools ERP Enterprise can automatically
		generate a service order for the tool that must be refurbished or scrapped.
		When completing a service order, the tool master data and tool tracking data is
		automatically updated.</Paragraph>
