You use this function in routings to determine which production resources/tools (PRT) are required to carry out an operation.

You can subsequently assign the PRTs as test equipment to the operation inspection characteristics.

The PRTs must have a master record in the system. According to the PRT category the following conditions have to be met additionally:

• Materials, equipment and documents must be released, using their status, as production resources/tools.
• Production resources/tools with a PRT master record (misc.) must be released in their status for use in resource planning.
• PRTs with material masters, PRT masters or equipment masters must be intended for use in routing in their task list usage.

You can assign a PRT to several operations.

During assignment you can enter data that determine how the PRT should be treated during order processing.
