Tool Sets

You use this program to create and maintain details relating to the tools that are used to perform an operation.

A tool is any instrument, such as a saw blade, that is the working part of a machine. Within SYSPRO, you add tool sets to maintain details of tools used to perform an operation.

Tool Set Maintenance

Field Description
Tool set

Quantity

When you assign the tool set to an operation (using the Structures and Routings program) you cannot assign a quantity exceeding that which is held against the tool set.

This is also used in the SYSPRO Factory Scheduling module when you run the SFS Finite Scheduler and the SFS Advanced Scheduler.
