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:

You can represent PRTs using one of the following:

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.
