We run the same as Brenda and have all the tools set up as Resources.
All of our tooling at our company we either manufacture or purchase. We have problems running MRP because of the fact that it can’t figure out that the same tooling part can be used over and over. Since we have over 1500 different tools, we have hundreds and hundreds of job and PO suggestions appear when we run MRP. I am wondering if anyone else has ran into this and how do they handle tooling requirements in Vantage. We can’t run a proper schedule because of how much the tooling muddies it all up. Any suggestions?

We have our tools listed as a resources. Our jobs have an operation that uses the tool of choice. We have a corresponding Part number, which we link to the resource, allowing for maintenance or shipping if it needs to be sent out for repair. A BPM watches for shipments and will make the tool inactive if the quantity drops below zero.

We made a tool revision and put all of the tools there. We can reference it by part number, but it has no impact on the mrp process.

Mike,
How do you have these configured in part entry? Currently, while it isn't perfect by any means, it seems manageable for us. We manufacture most of our tooling, most which we own, some are customer owned. They go in the MOM simply as a fixed qty of one under the parent part number that needs the tooling. In part entry, we remove the backflush and MRP options as well as generate suggestions. For us tooling is inventoried at zero dollars unless it is customer owned.

Rob, thanks so much for the suggestion. Our tools are setup on the MOM similarly as yours with the exception that we DO have process MRP and DO have Generate PO suggestions turned on which is why we end up with hundreds upon hundreds of suggestions to manufacture/purchase tooling. Not sure about the fixed qty but sounds like something we would want to do.

Yeah, I would suggest turning those off. The piece that needs to be there then, is visibility to tooling demand (say building it for a new part we've never made) is done through Engineering Processing (tasks), which will result in a job being manually created for the purpose of producing the tooling one time and receipted into inventory.
