Define equipment (PRT) used when confirming production order

[Former Member]

Hi everyone!

I have a question regarding usage of equipment. I want to measure the usage of equipment so I created PRT equipment, measuring points and added the PRT to the routing of a product. This all works fine.

However, sometimes there are 2 tools which can both be used for a certain operation. Then, I'd like to confirm which of these tools is used for producing a certain product. Sometimes one tool is used and other times the other tool is used, so I can't simply add these to the routing of a product. I want to confirm which tool has been used when the operation is finished and the production order is confirmed. How can I do this?

I saw it was possible by using a PRT pool, but this is only possible if SAP Mill Products is used (https://help.sap.com/doc/60cfc353b677b44ce10000000a174cb4/2.6/en-US/frameset.htm?19cec353b677b44ce10000000a174cb4.html), which we don't use at the company I'm working at. Is there any other possibility to do this?

I have the same question.

Ideally, we would specify a tool configuration (such as PRT Material), not necessarily the specific tool, and the operator could identify which tool matching that configuration was used, perhaps from corresponding PRT Equipment records referencing the same PRT Material.

Is this possible in ECC 6.0 with PM?

Hi Raghava,

Is it possible to confirm the sequence used, when confirming the order? I think I need to use alternative sequences, is it possible to confirm this when confirming the production order?

Hello Renate,

I am not sure if this can be achieved while confirming the order. One option is, before confirming the order add the required PRT in the operation overview screen in CO02 and save it. This should reflect during confirmation.
