Creating an Inspection Plan for Each Storage Condition (SAP Library

Creating an Inspection Plan for Each Storage Condition

Use

In this procedure, you create and maintain an inspection plan for each storage condition you specified in the stability study. When you create these inspection plans, you must use the Engineering Workbench and not the standard QM transactions for creating and maintaining inspection plans.

Note

By means of user parameter Q_EWB_CALL, you can configure the system so that when you call up an inspection plan for display from another transaction, the system will automatically display the plan in the Engineering Workbench (for example, if you are processing the testing schedule and you want to branch to display an inspection plan). To do this, you must maintain parameter Q_EWB_CALL in your user settings with the value "X". If this parameter is empty or not maintained, the system will call up the standard QM transaction (QP03) for displaying the plan.

All users who process stability studies should maintain the user parameter Q_EWB_CALL with the value "X", since packages for an inspection operation can only be displayed using the Engineering Workbench.

For each inspection plan you create and maintain, observe the following points:

When you call up the Engineering Workbench, you must select a working area that contains the following inspection plan elements: inspection plan header, operations, inspection characteristics, and packages.
To permit physical samples to be tested, you must activate inspection points for physical samples in the inspection plan header
You must assign a strategy to each inspection plan header.
For each operation in an inspection plan that will be tested, you must specify the intervals in which the operation will be tested. You do this by assigning packages contained in the strategy to these inspection operations.

Prerequisites

You have defined a working area in Customizing for Quality Management by choosing Quality Planning ® Engineering Workbench ® Define Work Areas, which contains all relevant inspection plan elements (inspection plan header, operation, package, and inspection characteristic).

Procedure

Create an inspection plan with inspection operations and inspection characteristics using the Engineering Workbench.

Note

To reduce the time and effort needed to create a plan, you can copy and modify the inspection plan you created for the initial test.

Go to the header level of the inspection plan by choosing Task Lists ® Headers.

The Headers Overview screen appears.

Choose the Quality Management tab.

Select an inspection plan header (group counter) in the table and then choose Goto ® Details.

The screen for the header details appears.

If you are not already in the change mode, choose Change/Lock.

The fields are ready for input.

Make sure you selected inspections point for physical samples in the Inspection points field.

In the Strategy field, enter the name of the strategy you want to use in this stability study.

Choose Task Lists ® Operations.

The Operations Overview screen appears.

Select an operation and then choose Task Lists ® Maintenance packages.

The Maintenance Package Overview screen appears.

Using the possible entries help for the Package field, select the packages to be used for this specific storage condition and operation.
Save your entries.
Repeat steps 1 through 11 for each remaining storage condition.

Note

SAP recommends that you create a separate inspection plan for each storage condition, even though these inspection plans may be identical during the planning stage. If you later decide that you want to test a certain operation for a storage condition more often than originally planned during the course of the study, you can only do this if you created and assigned an inspection plan exclusively to this storage condition.

Result

The inspection planning activities for the storage conditions have been completed. You can now process the testing schedule.
