Dear Marcin,
I guess you want to know the life of a mandrel during production order execution.
In my understanding this mandrel can be created either as a Material PRT /equipment PRT and assign
it to the operation in the routing where it is required and not in the BOM.
Also the life of PRT/PRT availability is not taken into account during Materials planning.
Check if this link can help you,
