Multiple Specifications in Results Recording
Use
When you process an inspection lot with multiple specifications during results recording, the system displays information about the multiple specifications in different views. When you record and close inspection results for the characteristics, the system valuates the results in the usual way on the basis of the standard specifications. In addition, the system also automatically valuates the inspection results for each characteristic on the basis of the multiple specifications. In doing so, the system applies the same valuation rules it uses when it valuates the results on the basis of the standard specifications. The results of these valuations are then displayed in results recording with the help of icons. This allows you to determine whether or not the inspection results for the individual characteristics fulfill the requirements of the multiple specification objects (for example, pharmacopoeia, country, customer, and so on).
Prerequisites
The valuation of inspection results on the basis of multiple specifications can only occur for the following valuation modes:
Mean value within tolerance range
Attributive inspection for nonconforming units (only for inspection characteristics with single values)
Features
You can display the multiple specification data and valuate it at the characteristic level in the following results recording transactions:
Record inspection results for operation
Worklist for results recording
Record inspection results for inspection point
Record inspection results for sample
Displaying Multiple Specification Objects
In results recording, you can display the multiple specification objects in the following views:
All objects for an operation, and if necessary, all objects for the inspection point or the sample in an inspection lot
All inspection characteristics for an object (that is, all characteristics for which object-specific specifications have been stored)
All objects for an inspection characteristic
In results recording, choose the
Multiple Specifications
tab page. All objects for the selected characteristic are displayed. By choosing the
Change Hierarchy Display
pushbutton, you can switch between the different views
Note
In the process-optimized results recording function, the system only displays the overall valuation for the master inspection characteristic. However, you can branch to the normal results recording function (Record inspection results for operation). There you can call up the various views for multiple specifications and valuations.
Valuation Based on Multiple Specifications
The valuation of inspection results based on multiple specifications occurs:
According to the same rules as the valuation for the characteristic results
In the background (even with a manual characteristic valuation of the standard inspection specifications)
If the system cannot automatically valuate the multiple specifications, you can valuate the multiple specifications manually using icons in the multiple specification view. The log for the characteristic displays information explaining why the system could not valuate the multiple specifications automatically. If you close a characteristic forcibly, the system automatically sets the valuations of the multiple specifications for the characteristic to
valuation error
and you have to valuate them manually.
Status of Valuations
The valuation statuses of multiple specifications for characteristics that have already been closed are displayed as follows:
Icon |
Meaning |
|---|---|
Green |
All multiple specifications for characteristic are fulfilled. |
Yellow |
At least one multiple specification for a characteristic is not fulfilled. |
Red |
No multiple specification for a characteristic is fulfilled. |
Alert |
A valuation could not be performed. |
Gray |
No valuation has been performed yet. |
Note
Unplanned characteristics are not supported by the multiple specifications function.
