Receiving a Tool Part

Receiving a tool part into inventory is much the same as receiving a part into inventory. The only difference is the additional fields and options that appear throughout the Order Receiving and Receiving Inspection process when receiving a tool into inventory.

Receiving can only be performed against an existing order in the system. It is not possible to perform receiving without connecting it to an order.

In the Order Receiving window, the following tool part will be received into inventory. Once the tool record is located, click on the Select button.

The Purchase Order Receiving window appears.

Note that the following fields are only available when receiving a tool part:

• Tool Area
• Tool Life EXP
• Tool Calibration Number
• Prev Tool Exp

Populate all mandatory and desired fields and save the transaction.

The following information/options are available in this window:
_____________________________________________________________________________________

Tool Area

The location/area of the tool. This is similar to a bin for tools. This field appears when the part being received is a tool.

Tool Life Expiration

The tool life expiration date of the part, as applicable.

Tool Calibration Number

This is a unique number used to define a tool.

Previous Tool Exp

This is the previous expiration date for the tool (if applicable). Not all tools have an expiration date.
