Inspection Plans with Several Change Statuses (QM-PT-IP)
A change status represents a particular processing state for an inspection plan object (for example a header or operation).
When you create an inspection plan, each of its objects has initially only one change status, valid over the entire validity period of the inspection plan.
If you never change the inspection plan using change numbers, your inspection plan objects always have only one change status.
As soon as you change an inspection plan object
using
a change number, the change status of the object is split into two statuses. The split is dated to the
Valid-from date
of the change number. Every further change with a change number results in a further change status. The only exception is if the inspection plan object was previously changed with a change number and had the same
Valid-from date.
In this case a further change status is not created.
Example
You create a task list that is valid from 01/01/2000 to 12/31/2000.
The task list header comprises initially of just one change status. You subsequently change the task list header several times using change numbers:
2. You change the task list header with a change number that has the
Valid-from date
05/01/2000.
The header now comprises of two change statuses with the validity periods 01/01/2000 to 04/30/2000 and 05/01/2000 to 12/12/2000.
3. You change the task list header with a change number that has the
Valid-from date
09/01/2000.
The header now comprises of three change statuses with the validity periods 01/01/2000 to 04/30/2000, 05/01/2000 to 08/31/2000 and 09/01/2000 to 12/31/2000.
4. You change the task list header with a change number that has the
Valid-from date
05/01/2000 again.
The header still has the three change statuses described above.
