The purpose with this program is to display a selected tool and fixture that are used in the Item bill of routing in order to use the cost of tools in the Product costing model, controlling calibration points, allocation for planning and back reporting.
Function keys
| Calibration dates | View the planned calibration dates. Note: This function key is only used when the calibration identifier is set to 6 (defined calibration dates). |
- Tool
- The code that identifies the tool.
- Description
- The description of the tool.
- Tool group
- The group to which the tool is connected.
- Location info
- The location of the tool.
- 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 IBS Alert Management is activated, the person defined as responsible will receive the alert message “Tool calibration point is reached”.
- Allocate tools
- Indicates if the tool should be updated in the Tool allocation file where you can view 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 the sequence the calibration should be made on. This field is updated during the manufacturing operation reporting.
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 is 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 calibration status. The value 1 indicates that the tool has been printed on the tool calibration report for backreporting results.
- Calibration point
- Depending on the calibration identifier, the calibration point is defined in either machine hours, produced pieces or number of operations.
- 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 the Calibration point field, 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 last manufacturing order for which the tool was reported.
- Last operation no.
- The last operation number for which the tool was reported.
- Last work centre
- The last work centre for which the tool was used.
- Last calibr date
- The last date that the tool was calibrated.
- Next calibr date
- The date indicates when the tool should be calibrated the next time. This field is only used in combination with calibration identifier 4 (Weekly calibration, 5 (Monthly calibration) or 6 (Defined calibration dates).
- New cost from date
- The date indicates when the new costs 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. If a new cost is entered, the New cost from date field must be completed with a date that indicates when the new cost comes into effect.
- New cost variable
- The new variable cost for the tool. This cost can be used in the Product costing model. If a new cost is entered, the New cost from date field must be completed with a date that indicates 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 tool description is printed on the basic report for tools.
