Use this activity to define calibration parameters for tool/equipment. The parameters to be defined are Calibration Base, Interval Unit and Interval.
For Calendar based calibration, available interval units are Day, Week, Month and Year.
For Usage based calibration, available interval units are Hour and Quantity.
Note: Usage based calibration is only applicable for tools used in Manufacturing.
For usage based calibration, in Resource Details/Tools/Equipment tab , the Record Tool Usage option must be selected for the tool/equipment group. This allows usage hours and quantities to be automatically recorded when shop order operations are reported.
When values since last calibration reaches the calibration interval, calibration status is changed to Calibration Due.
