Catalog Type of Assigned Code Group or Selected Set. Main category by which code groups and codes are classified according to their contents (e.g. characteristic attributes, defect types, usage decisions). If you are processing a quantitative characteristic or a qualitative characteristic for which the characteristic attributes indicator is not set, you can assign up to 4 code groups or selected sets to describe the inspection characteristic or the inspection method.NOTEYou CANNOT assign selected sets from catalog type 1 to quantitative characteristics or to qualitative characteristics for which the characteristic attributes indicator is not set. Maximum length: 1.
Partial Samples Possible. If this indicator is set, the system only imports those characteristics for which the management of multiple samples is possible when a transaction is called. Maximum length: 1.
Sample Size that Has to Be Inspected for a Characteristic. Predefined sample size that has to be inspected for an inspection characteristic or a partial sample. For each inspection plan characteristic you define the amount by which the inspected sample size in the 'Insp.ed' field can deviate from the to-be-inspected sample size in the 'Inspect' field. If a characteristic (partial sample ) is closed the system checks whether the required sample size is adhered to. The characteristic (partial sample) can only be closed if this is the case.For inspection characteristics, you can define conditions for adhering to the sample size. For example, you can define whether the inspection scope must be adhered to or whether it may be larger or smaller, etc.
Sample Unit of Measure. The base unit of measure that is used to determine a sample for a characteristic. The unit in which a sample is measured.To permit this unit of measure to be converted into the material unit of measure when the system selects the inspection specifications for an inspection lot, you must have maintained the conversion factors in the material master record100 ml are needed to inspect a characteristic. In this case, the sample unit of measure is ml. Maximum length: 3.

Long-Term Inspection. If you set this indicator, the characteristic is subject to a long-term inspection. If you set this indicator for at least one required characteristic, you can distinguish between "Short-term inspection completion" and a final completion of the inspection (status: Inspection close completed).Optional characteristics only work as long-term characteristics, when they are set for processing before inspection completion.You activate a long-term inspection by confirming the inspection completion for the short-term characteristics. This occurs either in conjunction with the making of the usage decision, or by calling up the special function "Short-term inspection completed."In a long-term inspection:There can already be a usage decision for the inspected material during the long-term inspectionYou can still record inspection results for long-term characteristics, once you have made the usage decisionThe system sets a separate status in the inspection lot to identify the long-term inspection and it provides special worklists and workflow tasks for this purposeIf you want to copy inspection results from a long-term inspection into a batch valuation, note that the data is transferred when the following events occur:Results from a short-term inspection are transferred as soon as the statuses "Short-term inspection completion" and "Usage decision made" are set.Results from a long-term inspection are transferred as soon as the statuses "Long-term inspection completion" and "Usage decision made" are setThis means that you must confirm or correct a usage decision, if it has been made after a short-term inspection. To do this, use the change transaction, a relevant worklist or an appropriate workflow task. Maximum length: 1.
Measured Values Must Be Recorded. If you set this indicator, measured values for this quantitative characteristic have to be inspected and confirmed. Maximum length: 1.
Is Quantitative Characteristic.
Reference to Characteristic Attribute Required. If you set this indicator, the inspection characteristic is marked as an attributive characteristic, whose allowed values are defined as a selected set from catalog 1 (characteristic attributes). If you do not set this indicator, the inspection characteristic is marked as an alternative characteristic, that can only take the values "Accepted" or "Rejected". Maximum length: 1.
Lower Specification Limit. Lower limiting value for the actual value of an inspection characteristic. The actual value for an inspection characteristic can be one of the following values, depending on the recording form:Mean value of summarized measured valuesSingle measured valueClass size for a value classIndividual measured values that lie below this specification limit, or value classes whose class limits are below this specification limit, are valuated as "not OK" or "R" (rejected).Mean values that lie below this specification limit are also valuated as "not OK," provided that the valuation of the inspection characteristic or sample is planned on the basis of specification limits.
Recording Type. In this field, you define whether and how single characteristic attributes (original values) are to be recorded at inspection results recording. A single value, depending on the inspection characteristic, is a measured value, an attribute code, or the valuation A (accepted) or R (rejected). Maximum length: 1.
Calculated Characteristic. The indicator defines the characteristic as a calculated characteristic. You set this indicator if the inspection result for an inspection characteristic is not determined through the inspection of this characteristic, but on the basis of calculations using the inspection results of other characteristics within the same operation.The SAP system supports the following functions:ABS Absolute amountNOT NegationSIN Sine functionCOS Cosine functionTAN Tangent functionLOG Logarithm for base value e (Natural logarithm)EXP Exponential function for base value eSQRT Square root functionROUND Rounding up to the whole numberTRUNC Proportion of whole numbers for a real numberMOD Modulo methodDIV Proportion of whole numbers for a divisionThe operating factors supported by the SAP system are divided into 6 levels based on their order of precedence. The operating factors in level 0 form the weakest combinations; those in level 6 the strongest. The following operating factors are available for calculation:Level 0AND Logical ANDOR Logical ORLevel 1= Equality<>, >< Inequality< Less than> Greater than<=, =< Less than or equal toLevel 2+ Positive sign (of an expression)- Negative sign (of an expression)+ Addition- SubtractionLevel 3* Multiplication/ DivisionLevel 4** ExponentiationLevel 5ABS Absolute amountNOT Negation (of a logical statement)Level 6All other functionsUser-defined formulasThe SAP system also evaluates user-defined functions that are defined in a table. Maximum length: 1.
Sample Quantity Factor for Sample(Mult. Sample Unit of Msr.). Factor for calculating the sample unit. The sample unit is the product of the following factors: Base sample quantity and the sample unit of measure.To inspect a characteristic, 100 ml are needed. In this case:Sample unit of measure = mlBase sample quantity = 100Sample unit = 100mlIf the sampling procedure that is defined for the characteristic stipulates that 5 individual samples are needed, the sample unit is multiplied by five. As a result, 5 x 100 ml must be drawn to inspect this characteristic.Sample quantity = 500 ml.
Target Value for a Quantitative Characteristic. Value of a quantitative characteristic, from which the actual value of the inspection characteristic should deviate as little as possible. The target value of the characteristic is stored in this field. A target value can be, for example, a nominal value or the desired value of a technical procedure. Details of the target value are especially useful in evaluations.
Upper Specification Limit. Upper limit value for the actual value of an inspection characteristic. The actual value for an inspection characteristic can be one of the following values, depending on the recording form:Mean value of summarized measured valuesSingle measured valueClass size for a value classIndividual measured values that lie above this specification limit, or value classes whose class limits are above this limiting value, are valuated as "not OK" or "R" (rejected).Mean values that lie above this specification limit are also valuated as "not OK," provided the valuation of the inspection characteristic or sample is planned on the basis of specification limits.
