Defining a PRT and traceability of PRT

[Former Member]

Hello Experts,

I have a client where they use tools but they are not defined as a PRT nor assigned to any operation. In the current legacy system they have a good traceability of the tools used in producing a material, these tools are to be replaced when worn out. My question here is How to have a proper traceability of the tools, and since these tools are worn out and to be replaced now and then should they be defined as a material PRT? Also suppose 100 FG's are produced using this tools and starting from 50-100 there are defective pieces and they have to recall, so since these PRt's are not defined at operation level how can we know which tool has caused the damage of the product 50-100, and which tools need to be replaced to prevent further damaged to the goods produced how to provide this leverage in SAP? Thanks in advance.

Hello Kumar,

Thanks for the document and reply, what if i maintain the PRT(Rollers) as a material, since plant actually change the roller when ever they find it as worn out. They will replace the roller with the new one. Maintaining it as an equipment will not serve my purpose (correct me if i am wrong). Also as i mentioned they are not attaching the PRT's to any operation or phase, Is there a way we can have a traceability?
