Tools used for calibration

When you create a tool for calibration, you configure the tool as a rotating item to track the tool as an asset and create work orders.

You can assign qualifications to the calibration tool to ensure that technicians are trained and qualified to use the tool when they complete a work order.

You can define calibration measuring and test equipment (M&TE) as a tool and identify if the tool is calibrated internally or externally.

To uniquely identify a tool, you can also record the following attributes:

  • Commodity group and commodity code
  • Meter and meter group
  • Issue unit
  • Lot type
  • Material safety data sheet (MSDS)
  • Whether to inspect the tool on receipt, which means that you require the tool to be examined during the receiving process before it is accepted
  • Whether the tool is outside, which means that it is owned by an outside supplier
  • Whether the tool is calibrated internally
