Use
Recording inspection results in classes enables you to reduce both the effort required to record results and the amount of storage needed to maintain the results. It is no longer necessary to record and store the individual results for each inspected single unit. The Quality Management application component supports two types of classed results recording:
Features
Quantitative Classes
Using the predefined specifications from the task list, the system calculates an upper and lower class limit for each class in results recording. The following data is specified in the task list:
The system creates an upper and lower marginal class in addition to the predefined number of classes. You define the creation of marginal classes in Customizing for plant settings. You define whether the marginal classes are unlimited or limited using plausibility limits.
During results recording in quantitative classes, you enter the number of inspected single units (for which the measured value is in the predefined interval of the respective class) in the Number column on the Confirmation Classes screen. Classes outside the tolerance limit are valuated with an R valuation; classes within the tolerance limit are valuated with valuation A. If you choose Enter after each entry, the system determines:
Qualitative Classes
In order to confirm inspection results in qualitative classes you must have assigned a selected set to the characteristic in the task list. Each code in the selected set corresponds to a class. The valuation and the defect class are copied from the selected set code to the appropriate class.
To record results in qualitative classes, enter the number of single units that corresponds to each of the given codes in the Number column of the Confirmation Classes screen area. If you choose Enter after each entry, the system determines:
