Data for Production Resources/Tools (SAP Library - Production Resources/Tools (PRT))

Data for Production Resources/Tools

Definition

Basic data and default values that you can maintain for PRTs have either a material master record or a PRT master record.

Structure

Basic data

Basic data is general information about the production resource or tool. Important basic data includes the task list usage and the requirement record indicator.

The task list usage specifies where production resources can be used (for example, in a routing or in a standard network). Depending on the task list usage you entered, you may only be able to assign the PRT to certain task list types.

Note

Requirement records and their evaluation are not yet available.

Default Values

When creating PRT master records, you can maintain default vales that are proposed when you allocate the production resource to an activity.

You cannot maintain default values for PRTs with document info records.

Note

Default values which you have identified as non-changeable in the material or PRT master record cannot be changed in a standard network or network.

The control key specifies how the PRT is to be handled after it is allocated to an activity (for example, whether it is scheduled).
You can use the standard text key to store texts that you use often (for example, a text describing how to work with the PRT).
The system uses formulas for quantity and usage value to calculate the required quantity of the PRT and its usage value.
The offset determines when a PRT should be available; that is, offset to the start or finish of an activity. It also determines when the PRT is no longer required.
You can enter the time interval in which the PRT is to be used. he system uses the time interval as well as the start and finish dates of the activity to calculate the start and finish dates for the usage of the PRT.

Example

Drill bit no. 230 must be available five days before the activity "assembly" starts. You enter a time interval or offset of 5- for the start offset. The system calculates the new start date and the duration of PRT usage from the earliest start date of the activity.
