When adding a tool flagged as rotating, is it possible to specify a quantity?

In the context of Maximo and its management of tools, when adding a tool that is flagged as rotating, it is not possible to specify a quantity. This is because rotating tools are typically treated as individual items due to their unique characteristics and the tracking requirement for usage and maintenance.

Unlike non-rotating tools or stocked items that can be considered in bulk or aggregated form—allowing for quantities to be specified—rotating tools are logged individually to track their lifecycle, usage history, and maintenance activities accurately. This individual tracking is crucial for understanding the integrity and serviceability of rotating tools, as they often encounter wear and tear differently than non-rotating tools.

This distinction is important for users of Maximo to ensure proper inventory management and maintenance tracking for rotating equipment, emphasizing the focus on detailed tracking over quantity aggregation.
