Hi,

Is there a method to book or block a tool, ensuring that it is not simultaneously used for another task? From my understanding, it is currently not possible to automatically schedule and reserve a tool from the PSO since tool/equipment resources are not considered Scheduling Resources.

However, within the Standard Task, it is feasible to insert a demand line of type Tool/Equipment, although this must be manually allocated.

How can I view the calendar of these tools to determine their usage, and how can I ensure that no other task utilizes the tool on the same time?

Thanks,

Stefania

Hi,

 

There is no scheduling support for Tool/Equipment currently. What you can use for this process is the Tool check-in / Check-out functionality. This will allow to keep track of tools that are checked out and currently in use for a work task and also when they are planned to be returned for example.

 

There is no calendar view of planned tool allocations.
