Frequently, people have specific requirements related to the determination and further processing of measured values, for example:

• The measured value is to be changed after it has been entered (for example, it is to be multiplied by a specific factor, or rounded off).

• The measured value that has been entered (original value) is to be output independently of the decimal places that were specified in the task list or master inspection characteristic. The output is the same as the input, for example, if two decimal places were planned in the inspection characteristic, but the measured value only has one decimal place. In this case, only one decimal place will be output in results recording.
• The number of significant digits is not fixed. It is dependent on the actual measured size of the measured value. The rounding should, therefore, be controlled by a significance category that takes this dependency into consideration. A significance category can, for example, be defined as follows:

You must make the following settings in Customizing before you can use this function in your company:

You use a Customizing table to assign parameters to the BAdI methods in input processing for non-classed measured values. You can find this Customizing table under the following menu path: Quality Management ® Quality Inspection ® Results Recording ® Define Parameters for Input Processing.

Now you can define a three-character key for input processing and a language-dependent short text for this key. On the detail screen, you can define your required parameters. You can define a maximum of six parameters. You can find more details regarding each BAdI in the relevant documentation.

The indicator for input processing of non-classed measured values is taken into consideration in the control indicator default values. You can find these setting under Quality Management ® Quality Planning ® Basic Data ® Inspection Characteristic, Inspection Method ® Define Default Values for Control Indicators.
