The purpose of this program is to maintain the tools and fixtures, which are used in Item bill of routing, in order to use the cost of the tools in the Product costing model, controlling calibration points, allocation for planning and back reporting.
Function keys
| Calibration dates | Maintain or define planned calibration dates. Note: This function key is only used when the Calibration identifier field is set to 6 (defined calibration dates). |
- Tool
- The code that identifies the tool.
- Description
- The description of the tool.
- Tool group
- The tool group to which the tool should be connected.
- Location info
- The location where the tool normally is placed.
- Number of tools
- The number of tools that exist with the same tool identity.
- Responsible
- The code from the Signature table indicates the person who is responsible for the tool. Note: If the tool is connected to a service object and DC1 Alert Management is activated, the person defined as responsible will receive the alert message “Tool calibration point is reached”.
- Allocate tool
- Indicates if the tool should update the Tool allocation file so that it is possible to enquire on tool allocations for manufacturing orders.
- Calibrate
- Indicates if the tool should be handled within the calibration function.
- Calibr identifier
- The code indicates the type of information the calibration counter should be based/updated on or for which date sequence the calibration should be made on. This field is updated during the manufacturing operation reporting. Note: Mandatory entry if Calibrate is set to YES.
Code Description 1 Hours.
Value for hours is Set-up time internal + Machine hours, or if machine hours is not used for operation, the run and labour value is used.2 Produced pieces.
Value for produced pieces are, Approved quantity + Scrapped quantity.3 Number of operations.
Value will be updated when the manufacturing order operation is changed to status 40 (started).4 Weekly calibration. 5 Monthly calibration. 6 Defined calibration dates.
- Calibration status
- The status 1 indicates that the tool has been printed on the tool calibration report for backreporting results.
- Calibration point
- The calibration point in machine hours, produced pieces or number of operations (depending on the calibration identifier). Mandatory entry if the Calibr identifier field is set to 1, 2 or 3.
- Calibration counter
- The actual reported value (machine hours, produced pieces or number of operations) from the operation reporting. This field is used in combination with Calibration point, above, to control the printing of the Calibration report. If the value of this field reaches the same value as the Calibration point, you can order a batch printout of the Calibration report. During the printout of the report, the system will flag the tool and set the Calibration status to 1. Note: This field is only updated from the operation reporting if the Calibr identifier field is set to 1, 2 or 3.
- Calibr total counter
- Displays the total calibration value. This value is not reset at calibration.
- Last order number
- The manufacturing order number where the tool was currently reported.
- Last operation no.
- The manufacturing order operation number for which the tool was last reported.
- Last work centre
- The work centre where the tool was last used.
- Last calibr date
- Displays the date when the tool was last calibrated.
- Next calibr date
- The date when the next calibration should be performed. This field is only used in combination with calibration identifier 4, 5 or 6.
- New cost from date
- The date when the new costs will come into effect. If this date has already passed, the system automatically uses this price.
- Tool cost fixed
- The fixed cost for the tool. This cost can be used in the product costing model.
- Tool cost variable
- The variable cost for the tool. This cost can be used in the product costing model.
- New cost fixed
- The new fixed cost for the tool. This cost can be used in the product costing model. The New cost from date defines when the new cost will come into effect.
- New cost variable
- The new variable cost for the tool. This cost can be used in the product costing model. The New cost from date defines when the new cost comes into effect.
- Planned calibr time
- The normal planned calibration time for one tool. This time is used to reduce the capacity when using fixed calibration dates.
- Critical resource
- This field is only displayed if Manufacturing Finite Planning (MFP) is activated. Indicates if the tool should be capacity/workload controlled in the planning functions.
- Tool text
- The extended description of the tool which is printed on the basic report for tools.
