Use of Production Resources/Tools
Use
The utilities, which you need to execute an operation, are saved in the system as production resources/tools (PRTs). Examples of production resources and tools include:
Tools for repairing an object
Measurement and calibration devices
NC programs
Drawings
You can represent PRTs using one of the following:
Material master record
Document master record
Master record for other PRTs
Equipment master record
However, you can also manage a production resource/tool in the system without a master record.
You assign PRTs to operations.
However, you cannot assign PRTs to sub-operations.
Assignment of PRTs to Operations
Integration
You can use status management for PRTs to find out which business operations are allowed for a PRT, to determine, for example, whether or not you are allowed to perform an availability check.
Features
The system provides a function, with which you can check whether the production resources/tools that you require for the order are available. This check function is similar to the one for materials.
You can also display a log that records the availability of materials and utilities.
