Record tool usage for work orders to enter the quantity, usage hours, and departmental information for equipment/parts defined as tools. The costs associated are automatically calculated with the use of the tool based on the usage and the rates defined for the tool, department, and organization.

To record tool usage for work orders:

  1. Select Work > Work Orders.

  2. Select the work order for which to record tool usage, and then click the Tools Usage tab.

    If the status of the work order is Completed (or equivalent user status), the setting of the TOOLDAYS installation parameter determines whether you can add/update tool usage for the work order.

  3. Click Add Tool Usage.

    The system automatically populates Activity-Trade (if there is only one activity on the work order), Department, Date Used, Quantity, Hours Used, Scheduled Qty., Scheduled Hours, Rate, and Costs.

    Rate is the default rate for the Department, Organization (of the work order), and Tool. Costs is calculated as the product of the Quantity, Hours Used, and the Rate.

  4. Specify this information:

    Tool - Specify the tool for which to add usage information.

    Date Used - Specify the date of the tool usage.

    Quantity - Specify the quantity of the tool that was used.

    Hours Used - Specify the number of hours the tool was used.

    The BOOKDATE installation parameter indicates the manner in which the system handles entries for Date Used and Hours Used when booking hours for the tool.

    Equipment - Choose one of the following options if the work order is a multiple equipment work order:

    • Enter a specific equipment to which to distribute the Hours Used.

    • Enter All Equipment to evenly distribute the Hours Used to each equipment record on the work order.

    • Enter WO Header Equipment to distribute the Hours Used to the equipment on the work order header only.

      The system automatically applies any remainder of the Hours Used to the last equipment record on the Equipment page of the Work Orders page.

      If you select All Equipment for Equipment and at least one of the related work orders has a Completed status (or equivalent user status), the system displays a message enabling you to select whether to distribute the cost of the tool usage against all equipment or only open related work orders.

      Also, the system disregards the setting of the TOOLDAYS installation parameter when posting tool usage transactions if you select All Equipment.

      The value displayed for Used in the Tools Usage list displays the quantity of the tool issued for the header work order and all related work orders for the activity.

      Activity-Trade - Specify the activity and trade for the work order for which the tool was used.

      Department - Specify the department of the work order for which the tool was used.

  5. Click Submit.

    To import a scheduled tool, click Import Scheduled Tools. The system imports any tools that are scheduled for the work order. If the work order is a multiple equipment work order, the system creates a record for the work order header for 0 Hours Used, creates a tool usage record for each of the MEC work orders, and divides the Hours Used for the tool equally between each of the MEC work orders.
