You can use record type Q83 to create inspection points in the QM system.

Using record type Q84, you can create inspection points as well as valuate existing inspection points and assign them to partial lots and batches. To confirm inspection results for inspection points, you can use the standard function modules for results confirmation with record types Q54, Q55, Q56 and Q64, Q65, Q66. The inspection points have to be created beforehand. The link between the inspection points and the corresponding results is created via sample numbers (that is, consecutive numbers for the inspection points that have to be assigned by the subsystem).

When closing inspection points requiring documentation (QAIMV-KZDOKU) an inspection description must be confirmed at inspection point level. These inspection points cannot be closed using function module QIRF_GET_INSP_POINT2. In this case, the inspection points are closed using record type Q69 and function module QIRF_GET_SAMPLE_VALUES2.

If additional user fields are activated for inspection points of types 1 and 3, then those are initial when retrieved. The subsystem fills these fields and confirms the inspection types with the record types Q83 or Q84. In these cases, it is possible to confirm additional inspection points for the same equipment, functional location, or physical sample.

If no additional user fields are activated, the inspection points are already complete and do not require confirmation with record type Q83.

Results for incomplete inspection plans cannot be confirmed.

If the field EVALUATION in structure QAIVC is initial, QM automatically valuates the inspection point based on proposals from the inspection point identification. The subsystem can also transfer its own, independent valuation. If there is no valuation yet, the valuation is done once automatically when the last characteristic of the inspection point is closed. If all characteristics are accepted, the proposal for the acceptance of the inspection point becomes valid. If at least one characteristic is rejected, the proposal for the rejection of the inspection point becomes valid.

The valuation of the inspection point can be changed manually by both the subsystem and the user. This is especially important if the valuation of materials is changed at a later point, because there will then be no automatic valuation of the inspection point.
