Add Tool Requirement
Explanation
As you work on a task or fault, you might need to request tools that were
not specified as requirements in the task or fault. Any tools already displayed
on the task or fault, are those that were added to
the task or fault beforehand.
To request tools for a task or fault that is in work, or soon to be in work,
you add one or more tool requirements to the task or fault.
You can then record tool use when you partially complete or complete work
and then sign off on the tool use.
You can also remove a tool requirement on a task or fault provided that the
tool use has not been signed off.
Prerequisites
- A task must exist in the Active or In Work
status.
- A fault must exist in the Open or Deferred
status.
- Tasks and faults must have been migrated and synced from your primary
M&E system.
- Basic data for tools must be available.
- If you use tools/equipment that originate from/have been set up in IFS Cloud,
the tool/equipment groups and tool/equipment objects must be registered
beforehand. Note that the airport on which the task should be
resolved must be connected to the site defined on the resources
(tool/equipment).
- If you use the tools/equipment from the M&E system, the tool
specifications and part numbers must have been migrated and synced from
your M&E system.
System Effects
- The tool requirement is added and can be viewed from Task
Details and additionally the Fault Details
page if the task has a corresponding fault or is only a fault.
- If you use tools/equipment that originate from/have been set up in IFS Cloud,
the tool demand will be reported to the resource planning where
you can analyze the tool capacity and availability.
