Results Recording for Units to be Inspected 
Use
Results recording for units to be inspected is one possible recording view in the characteristic overview screen. In contrast to the other views, you record single values as opposed to summarized values for the unit to be inspected. For this reason, you can only make entries in the fields that are relevant to single-value recording. You cannot make entries, if there are no characteristics with original-value recording at operation level.
Prerequisites
To use this function, note the following:
Features
When you record results for units to be inspected, a distinction is made between the following cases:
When you create units to be inspected, the system proposes numbers for the units to be inspected in an ascending order. You can change the proposed number for a unit to be inspected until you have recorded the first characteristic result for the unit. (You can still change the number for a unit to be inspected on the characteristic single screen.) The unit numbers provide the user with a means of identifying the units to be inspected. These numbers are not maintained as master data in the system.
When you record inspection results for a unit to be inspected, for which the maintenance of serial numbers is specified in the material master, you must use the predefined serial numbers.
To record results for units to be inspected with a serial number requirement, the following conditions must be met:
Activities
When you record inspection results for single units, you can record the single results on the characteristic overview screen or on the characteristic single screen. When you select a characteristic for a unit to be inspected, the characteristic single screen appears. This screen contains all units to be inspected for a characteristic.

You can only delete single values as long as you have not saved the values and they have not been written to the database. You can mark single values that you can no longer delete as invalid using Attribute.
To make sure that you record only one result for each unit to be inspected, you must set the indicator for external numbering in the task list header.
