The header contains a variety of general data for the certificate. This data is independent of the characteristics.

You assign a form that is used to create the certificate. The form determines the layout and some of the contents of the certificate.

For more information, see Forms for Quality Certificates.

You use the indicator No PDF to specify that only formatted data is transferred during the exchange of electronic certificate data, and not the graphical display of the quality certificate. For more information, see Sending a Quality Certifcate via EDI with Access to Data (QM-CA).

 

A certificate profile can have various statuses (for example, created, released, and blocked). In addition to the system status, you can also maintain the user status (controlled by the certificate type or the detail screen for the status). When you have assigned a status procedure, you can set the user status on the status detail screen or on the header screen for the certificate profile.

For more information, see Status Management.

You can record a short text and a long text. The short text is only available in one language. The long text is language-dependent. The system proposes languages for the maintenance of long texts, which are allowed on the application server and for the set code page.

Note

If long texts exist in languages that cannot be maintained on the current application server, you can call up a list of the available long texts using This graphic is explained in the accompanying text Languages.

You can use a copy function to make it easier to maintain long texts in several languages.

You can specify which inspection lots or partial lots the system considers when it creates a certificate. When a certificate is created, the system selects all inspection lots and partial lots for the material (and batch, if applicable) that meet the criteria and have a usage decision. The characteristics are retrieved from the most recent inspection lot or partial lot in this list. (The lot creation date is the determining factor.) You cannot choose an inspection lot online during certificate creation.

These constraints apply to inspection lots and partial lots for the material or batch, for which the certificate is created. For constraints about lot selection for batches in the production chain, see Characteristics for Materials in the Production Chain.

You can create additional constraints using customer-specific enhancements.
