Maintaining a Revision Level for a Task List
If your company maintains several versions of a material that are only distinguished by
revision levels, you can create and edit corresponding inspection plan variants for these materials. In this way, the system can automatically select the appropriate inspection plan for an inspection, whenever such a material is subject to a goods receipt inspection.
Creating Change Documents
You use the change document function to record changes to inspection plans. The change documents are listed in chronological order. In the change document, changes are structured according to task list level (header, operation, inspection characteristic).
