  • Term: Tool Group

    Component: MFG-ME SAP Manufacturing Execution

    Definition: A Tool Group in SAP Manufacturing Execution is a master data object that represents a collection or category of tools used in manufacturing processes. It helps organize and manage tools that share similar characteristics or are used for similar operations, facilitating tool tracking, maintenance, and allocation.

    How It’s Used: Tool Groups are used in production environments to group tools for easier management and control. For example, all cutting tools might be grouped into one Tool Group, while measuring instruments form another. This grouping simplifies scheduling tool maintenance, monitoring tool usage, and ensuring the right tools are available for specific manufacturing operations.

    Important Configuration:

    • Define Tool Groups in the SAP system via customizing under the Manufacturing Execution settings.
    • Use transaction codes such as IE01 (Create Tool) and IE02 (Change Tool) to assign tools to Tool Groups.
    • Configure Tool Group parameters in IMG under Logistics Execution > Master Data > Tool Management.
    • Set up tool allocation and maintenance plans linked to Tool Groups to automate tool lifecycle management.
