Defects Recording Automatically Called Up. If you set this indicator and an inspection characteristic is rejected during results recording, the function for recording defects for a characteristic is automatically called up. In this situation, a distinction must be made between the following cases: Defects recording in the backgroundA prerequisite for recording defects in the background is that you must define defect codes in the inspection characteristic.You can specify three defect codes for a quantitative characteristic:A defect code for a general rejectionA defect code for a rejection at an upper specification limitA defect code for a rejection at a lower specification limitIn the case of a qualitative characteristic, you must define the defect code for a general rejection.Defects recording in dialogDefects recording is always executed in dialog for the following cases:If the system does not set a default defect codeIf the confirmation profile contains fields that require an entryWhen you record results using a subsystem, you can only record defects automatically in the background. Maximum length: 1.
Destructive Inspection. You set this indicator for inspection characteristics whose inspection samples will be destroyed when you inspect the characteristics. When you make the usage decision, the system calculates the quantity of materials destroyed and makes a proposal for the stock posting To sample usage. The system takes all inspection characteristics into consideration corresponding to the actual sample size for which the indicator Destructive insp. is set and for which inspection results have been recorded (up to the point of the calculation). This may include optional characteristics, skipped characteristics, long-term characteristics, and unplanned characteristics.For the stock posting, the system proposes only the part of the destroyed quantity that exceeds the amount already posted to sample usage.For example, you set the indicator for an additive sample if the inspection of an inspection characteristic is destructive. In this case, the indicator causes the sample quantity to be increased by the amount needed to inspect this characteristic.If you inspect only one inspection characteristic destructively and you inspect this characteristic last, you should not set the indicator Additive sample for the characteristic.You must set the indicator Additive sample if you inspect more than one inspection characteristic destructively and if you can only inspect one of these characteristics for a partial sample.If several characteristics contribute to the destruction of the inspection sample, you can combine these characteristics for a partial sample.A simple exampleFour characteristics are inspected. The inspection of characteristics 1, 3, and 4 is destructive. The indicator Additive sample was set for characteristic 4.Charac. Destructive Additive To be insp.

Characteristics 1 and 3 are combined, since they are not marked as additive.Extended example with material samples, long-term characteristics, and different units of measureThe unit of measure for the lot is PIECES; the following conversion factors are stored in the material master record:4 pieces = 3 l8 pieces = 9 kgIn the inspection plan, it is defined that characteristics 1, 3, 4, and 6 (material sample 100) are to be inspected in laboratory 1 and characteristics 2, 5, and 7 in laboratory 2 (material sample 200).Charac.

When you make the usage decision, the system proposes that 6 pieces be posted to sample usage.You then record the results for long-term characteristics 6 and 7 and change the usage decision.Charac. Mat.Sample Destructive Additive Inspected6 100 x x 8 * 100 ml7 200 x 2 * 1 kgThe destroyed quantity now consists of 2200 ml and 4 kg, which is rounded off to 7 pieces.When you make the usage decision, the system proposes 1 piece to be posted to sample usage, since 6 pieces have already been posted to sample usage.NoteYou can use user exit QEVA0009 to individually calculate and predefine the quantity to be posted to sample usage. Maximum length: 1.
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.
Quantitative Characteristic. If you set this indicator, it causes the characteristic to be treated as a quantitative characteristic. You thereby define the control indicators that are relevant for the inspection characteristic. A quantitative characteristic is subject to measurement inspections. You can define tolerance limits and a target value for a quantitative characteristic. Set the indicator for the characteristic type (quantitative or qualitative) or enter a control key.If you used a control key, for which the "fixed" indicator is set in Customizing, you cannot change the indicator for the characteristic type. In addition, you cannot delete this indicator or enter another control key. Maximum length: 1.
Inspection Sample Quantity Is Added. If you set this indicator, it causes the size of the partial sample to be increased by the quantity required for this characteristic in inspection sample calculation. If a partial sample is to be used for several characteristics, it contains the total sample quantity required for all the characteristics.The system calculates the sample quantity for each characteristic. For a partial sample that is used for several characteristics, the system takes the largest determined sample quantity as the partial sample quantity.If you set the Additive sample indicator, the system does not include the sample quantity for this characteristic when calculating partial samples, but takes the next smallest sample quantity as the partial sample quantity and subsequently adds the sample quantity of the additive sample.You can set the indicator for an additive sample, for example, if the inspection for a characteristic is destructive.I II IIISample quantity Additive Additive AdditiveCharacteristic 1 15 pcs (X)Characteristic 2 30 pcs X XCharacteristic 3 20 pcs XTotal qty 30 pcs 50 pcs 65 pcsExample I: No indicator for additive samples is set. The system therefore determines the sample quantity for characteristic 2 as the quantity for the partial sample.Example II: The indicator for additive samples is set for characteristic 2. The system therefore determines the sample quantity of characteristic 3 as the quantity for the partial sample and increases this by the sample size of characteristic 2.Example III: The indicator for additive samples is set for characteristics 2 and 3. The system therefore determines the sample quantity of characteristic 1 as the quantity for the partial sample and increases this by the sample sizes of characteristics 2 and 3, irrespective of whether the indicator was also set for characteristic 1. Maximum length: 1.
Sampling Procedure is Required. If you set this indicator, a sampling procedure must be assigned to the characteristic in the task list. If you do not assign a sampling procedure to the inspection characteristic and you do not define specifications for the inspection scope on a higher level (in the inspection setup in the Quality Management view of the material master), a 100% inspection takes place.In a 100% inspection, the unit of measure in the inspection lot or the unit of measure in the task list plays a role in determining the sample size. Maximum length: 1.
Characteristic Relevant for Quality Score and Scrap Share. If you set this indicator, the fraction of nonconforming units for this inspection characteristic is taken into account when the share of scrap is calculated in the inspection lot. When making the usage decision, if you use a quality score that is calculated from the share of scrap in the inspection lot or characteristic, the characteristic is only used to calculate the quality score if this indicator is set. Maximum length: 1.
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.
Check Target Value. If you set this indicator and either the "Upper specification limit" or "Lower specification limit" indicator, the system checks whether the target value lies within the tolerance. 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.
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.
Tolerance Key. User-defined key for tolerance specifications. This key can contain the target value, unit of measurement, accuracy, and tolerance limits.If you use a tolerance key in an inspection characteristic, the information contained in the key is copied into the inspection characteristic. Maximum length: 4.
Inspection Method. Name that uniquely identifies an inspection method within a plant. An inspection method describes how to inspect an inspection characteristic. You can assign an inspection method to a master inspection characteristic or directly to an inspection characteristic in an inspection plan. Maximum length: 8.
Plant for Inspection Method. Key, that identifies a plant. For inspection methods this plant is the planning plant, in which the inspection method was created in QM. Maximum length: 4.
Version Number of the Inspection Method. Maximum length: 6.
Group Counter. This key and the task list group uniquely identify a task list. In Production Planning and Control, for example, it serves to identify alternative production processes in task lists and is used to make a distinction between similar task lists.The group counter can be used to identify different lot-size ranges, for example. Maximum length: 2.
Key for Task List Group. Key identifying a group. You can use groups, for instance, to identify two routings that have different production steps for one material.Enter the group to which you want to restrict the selection. Maximum length: 8.
Internal counter. Identifies the activity posting. Maximum length: 8.
Inspection Scope. With this field you determine the extent, to which the number of required measured values must adhere. Maximum length: 1.
Master Inspection Characteristic. Name that uniquely identifies a master inspection characteristic within a plant. An inspection characteristic describes what is to be inspected, that is, the inspection requirements for materials, parts, and products. To simplify and standardize inspection planning, you can define master inspection characteristics that you can use in various task lists. Maximum length: 8.
Plant for the Master Inspection Characteristic. Maximum length: 4.
Short Text for Inspection Characteristic. Text of up to 40 characters that describes the object in more detail. This description is also known as short text. Maximum length: 40.
Unit of Measurement, in Which Quantitative Data Is Stored. Three-digit unit of measurement for inspection values (target value, specification limits, etc.) for a quantitative characteristic or for dependent characteristic specifications for a quantitative characteristic. The values are stored in the in this unit of measure in the database. Maximum length: 3.
Version Number of the Master Inspection Characteristic. Maximum length: 6.
Inspector Qualification. Qualification that an inspector must have and, if necessary, validate in order to be able to conduct an inspection. This field has no controlling function. However, your entry is checked against a list of qualifications stored in the database.You can enter an inspector qualification in an inspection method, a master inspection characteristic, or a task list.If you use a master inspection characteristic in a task list that has an inspection method assigned, the inspector qualification defined in the inspection method is used in the task list. If there is no inspector qualification in the inspection method, the qualification is taken from the master inspection characteristic. Maximum length: 5.
Deletion Indicator. Indicator showing that the BOM header or the BOM item has been deleted with reference to the change number. This indicator is relevant to changes that have been made with reference to a change number with a validity that has been specified using a new validity type.
Date on Which Data Record Was Changed. Date on which the data record was last changed. The system enters the current system date.
Name of User Who Last Changed Data Record. Name of the user who made the last change to this data record. Maximum length: 12.
Sampling Procedure in Inspection Characteristic. Procedure by which the sample size for an inspection is determined. In the sampling procedure, the valuation mode is also defined for the inspection result.A sampling procedure is assigned to an inspection characteristic in a task list or material specification. In addition, you can assign the procedure to an unplanned characteristic, when you record results.If you do not enter a sampling procedure for an inspection characteristic, the system chooses a sampling procedure proposed in the settings at plant level. If no sampling procedure was entered in these settings, the system takes the lot size as the sample size. Maximum length: 8.
Assigned Code Group or Selected Set. If you are processing a qualitative inspection characteristic for which the characteristic attributes indicator is set, you can assign up to 5 code groups or selected sets to describe the inspection characteristic or the inspection method. 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.Catalog types 2,3,4,5 are also used in defects recording:If you record defects with reference to an inspection characteristic, you can limit the allowed catalog confirmations by predefining code groups or selected sets. Maximum length: 8.
Plant of the Assigned Selected Set. Key that uniquely identifies the plant assigned to the selected set. Selected sets are defined at the plant level.Therefore you must enter a plant for each selected set that you assign to a master record.If you select a selected set from a list of catalog entries, the system automatically copies the selected set and the plant.Do not enter a plant for a code group that you have assigned to a master record. Maximum length: 4.
