Changes to Task Lists (SAP Library - Inspection Planning (QM-PT-IP))

Changes to Task Lists

Use

You use this function to change existing inspection plans or reference operation sets.

Changes to task lists are not included in existing inspection lots.

Prerequisites

You can change an inspection plan and a reference operation set with one of the following:

Key date
Change master record

Features

Changing Without a Change Number

If you change a task list and enter a date in the Key date field on the initial screen,

The old values in the task list are overwritten by new values
The change is backdated to the valid-from date for the task list object (for example, inspection characteristic or operation). This means that the key date only serves to select the task list that is to be changed.
A change document is created. This document records all changes to the task list.

Changing with a Change Number

To change a task list with a change number, enter a change master record number in the Change number field on the initial screen of the change function.

When you change a task list with a change master record,

A record containing the new values is written to the database For example, if you change the target value and specification limits of an inspection characteristic, a new characteristic record is written to the database
The date in the new database record is the date contained in the change master record
The system lists all the changes to the task list (all changes to individual fields)

Maintaining a Revision Level for a Task List

If your company maintains several versions of a material that are only distinguished by revision levels, you can create and edit corresponding inspection plan variants for these materials. In this way, the system can automatically select the appropriate inspection plan for an inspection, whenever such a material is subject to a goods receipt inspection.

Creating Change Documents

You use the change document function to record changes to inspection plans. The change documents are listed in chronological order. In the change document, changes are structured according to task list level (header, operation, inspection characteristic).

Activities

Changing with a Change Number

With the engineering change management function, you create a change master record, in which you enter the objects to be changed (such as, material, inspection plan). The system assigns a change number to the change master record.

Use the change number to make the required changes to the material in the material master and assign a revision level to the material.
