Hi Shon,I can shed a little bit of light on what another Maintenix operator has done for tool kits. It’s a similar idea to the external database approach that you referenced, but still contained within Maintenix using bin locations.The top level tool kit part number is defined as a KIT class with part use TOOLS. The kit contents are defined on this kit part number for reference. However when the kit inventory is created, the inventory for the contents exist in Maintenix, but are never directly added to the kit inventory. Instead there is a corresponding BIN location in local tool crib where the contents can be found. In Maintenix, only the top level kit inventory is checked out and checked in to tie the tool kit to tasks and monitor checkout, but the contents remain in this special location in Maintenix.This setup does require particular diligent processes to maintain the inventory in the right locations. But the approach avoids some of the known limitations around tool kit cont
There’s mixed uptake on the SOS functionality among our materials customers.I know of at least one customer that has a relatively full process for SOS inventory in Maintenix. They have a large number of part numbers marked as SOS. They also have an SOS removal reason which routes the removed inventory directly to QUAR. Once in quarantine, they manage the SOS process using well identified SOS quarantine actions.A few other customers have used the SOS flag on the part number to track an SOS process that is managed mostly outside of Maintenix. But fir these customers, most of the work is done outside of Maintenix to manage SOS. Other materials customers don’t have any SOS process in Maintenix. They mange entirely by other means outside the system.
