| # Tools by Tool Type (titrp0102m000) Use this session to list, select, and maintain data referring to tools. LN identifies tools by means of a combination of tool type and tool number. Related topics Tool requirements planning Tool identification Defining tools Tool status 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. 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 LN. Tool Used in Production If this check box is selected, the tool can be used by shop floor orders. Tool Used in Service If this check box is selected, the tool can be used by service orders. Tool Used in Maintenance If this check box is selected, this tool can be used by work orders in Work Control System in Service.

Warehouse The warehouse where the tool is stored when it is purchased. Tool Status The status of the tool, which can be New, Available, Blocked, Allocated, or In Refurbishing. You can only change the status of a tool component from Available to Blocked if the status of the other components linked to the multipiece tool is not one of the following: Available Allocated In Refurbishing If the usage status of a tool is Requested, Returned, or Unallocated, the status of the tool can be changed from: Available to Blocked. Available to In Refurbishing. The tool status cannot be changed to Allocated or In Refurbishing. Allowed values Possible values 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 A multipiece tool is defined in the Tool Components (titrp0506m000) session.
