 Assignment of Production Resources/Tools to Operations

Use

You can use this function to specify in the routing which production resources/tools (PRT) are required when an operation is carried out.

After you have assigned production resources/tools to operations you can also assign them as test equipment to the inspection characteristics of the operation.

Prerequisites

A master record must have been created for production resources/tools in the system. Depending on the PRT category, the following additional requirements must be met:

  • Materials, equipment, and documents must have been released for use as production resources/tools via their status

  • Production resources/tools with a PRT-specific master record (miscellaneous) must have been released for resource planning via their status

  • Production resources/tools with a material master record, a PRT-specific master record, or an equipment master record must have been defined for routings via their task list usage.

Features

You can assign several production resources/tools to one operation. You can assign one production resource/tool to several operations.

When assigning PRTs to operations, you can enter certain data that determine how production resources/tools are treated during order processing.
