Editing Data Relevant for Inspection Plans

Use

In addition to editing the basic settings , you must make certain assignments so that the system can create the relevant data (for example, inspection characteristics) from the value assignment types that exist in specification management in the inspection plan. You make these assignments in the central object for the EH&S-QM interface, the mapping table .

The class characteristics that you edit in specification management are used to create inspection characteristics.

There are two possible scenarios:

  • You want to create an inspection characteristic from a value assignment type.

  • You want to create a number of inspection characteristics from a value assignment type (for example, in the case of compositions).

Prerequisites

You have edited the basic settings .

Procedure

  1. Call the transaction CGQM.

    A table appears where you edit the data relevant for inspection plans ( mapping table ).

  2. Enter the value assignment types relevant for inspection plans in the Val. asst type column.

  3. Select a value assignment type and choose Characteristic assignment .

    The dialog box appears where you can assign characteristics.

  4. Enter the class characteristics whose content you want to transfer to the inspection plan.

  5. In the CTyp column, specify how the content of the characteristic is to be formatted in the inspection plan (for example, whether it is a value range or a method). Depending on the characteristic type it is processed differently (see Processing of Characteristics ).

    Note Note

    The MstrCharac and Plant columns are only significant if the additional parameter characteristics function is available. This function is not included in the standard system. Therefore, characteristics of the type Condition also cannot be transferred to inspection plans in the standard system.

    End of the note.

  6. Confirm your entries.

    The table for editing the data relevant for inspection plans appears again.

Steps 1 through 6 are the minimum requirement to be able to create an inspection plan. The system generates one inspection characteristic per value assignment type when the inspection plan is created.

According to your requirements you have the following additional options:

  • If you want the inspection characteristic to be created in the inspection plan with reference to a master inspection characteristic and therefore want other data to be transferred from the master inspection characteristic, specify a plant and a master inspection characteristic.

    The key for a master inspection characteristic is made up from the plant, description of the master inspection characteristic, and version. As the version valid at the time the plan is created is always used, you do not need to specify a version.

    Caution Caution

    The contents of the class characteristics specified under Characteristic assignment overwrite the attributes of the master inspection characteristic.

    End of the caution.

  • If the specification is a composition, different inspection characteristics can be generated from the individual ingredients. In this case, proceed as follows:

    1. Select the Composit. field.

    2. In the Specification column, specify the individual specifications in the composition.

    3. Specify master inspection characteristics if necessary.

      Note Note

      As no characteristic values are specified for compositions, you do not need to assign characteristics to the value assignment type under Characteristic assignment .

      End of the note.

  • If a number of different inspection characteristics are to be generated from a number of class characteristics in the value assignment type, proceed as follows:

    1. In the Characteristic column, specify the controlling class characteristics according to whose contents separate inspection characteristics are to be generated.

    2. In the Char. value column, assign the characteristics their contents.

      If the characteristic value specified here matches the contents of the corresponding characteristic of a specification, the system creates an inspection characteristic.

    3. Specify master inspection characteristics if necessary.

      You must list the value assignment type several times in the Val. asst type column as required and assign the characteristics in each case under Characteristic assignment .

  • If a number of value assignment instancesexist for a value assignment type, you can generate different inspection characteristics from these data records.

    1. In the Characteristic column, specify the controlling class characteristics according to whose contents separate inspection characteristics are to be generated.

    2. In the Char. value column, assign the characteristics their contents.

      If the characteristic value specified here matches the contents of the corresponding characteristic of a specification, the system creates an inspection characteristic.

    3. Specify master inspection characteristics if necessary.

      You must list the value assignment type several times in the Val. asst type column as required and assign the characteristics in each case under Characteristic assignment .

  • In the Function module column you can use a function module to define yourself how specification data is to be converted to an inspection characteristic.

    Note Note

    With composition properties, specifying function modules is not permitted.

    End of the note.

    As an example, use the function module EHQM09_BUILD_CHA_NO_COMP to develop analogous modules.

    Save your entries.

Result

You have assigned the specification data relevant for your inspection plans in the mapping table . You can now create inspection plans .
