Add Tool Requirement

Explanation

You can add tool requirements to a task or fault to list the tools needed to complete the task or fault.

If you require tools/equipment that originate from IFS Cloud, you must be online to perform this activity.

You can later record tool usage when you record work for the task or fault and sign off on the tool usage.

You can also remove a tool requirement on a task or fault provided that the tool use has not been signed off.

The task must be in the Active or In Work status.
The fault must be in the Open or Deferred status.
Basic data for tools must be available, as follows:
- If you use tools/equipment that originate from IFS Cloud:
  - Your administrator must have set the value for the USE_MAINTENIX_TOOL_REGISTRY parameter to NO.

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 tools/equipment from a Maintenance Planning system, the tool specifications and part numbers must be preloaded.

The tool requirement is added and can be viewed from the Task Details page or the Fault Details page respectively. If the tool is added to a task which is a packaged fault, it can be viewed from both the Task Details and Fault Details pages.
If you use tools/equipment that originate from IFS Cloud, the tool demand will be reported to the resource planning where you can analyze the tool capacity and availability.
