Effects of the Link at Batch Valuation 

 

Integration

The link between master inspection characteristics and class characteristics allows you to transfer results of a quality inspection to the batch classification, so that the system can access them in batch determination. This can only take place, if the material is to be handled in batches and if a batch class was assigned to the material master in the classification view.

The processes shown in yellow take place in the Quality Management application component; those shown in green take place at inspection lot creation.

Process Flow

Example 1

  1. In Customizing at plant level, you do not set the Batch valuation without material spec. indicator.
  2. You create the class characteristics CCh1, CCh2 and CCh3.
  3. You create the master inspection characteristics MIC1, MIC2 and MIC3 and link these to the class characteristics CCh1, CCh2 and CCh3 as follows:
  4. Master Inspection Characteristic

    Class Characteristic

    MIC1

    CCh1

    MIC2

    CCh2

    MIC3

    CCh3

  5. You create material specifications 1 and 2 that must be available with the following data, when the inspection point is valuated, or when the usage decision is made:
    1. Material specification 1
    2. Class Characteristic

      Assigned Master Inspection Characteristic

      CCh1

      MIC1

      CCh2

      MIC2

      CCh3

       
    3. Material specification 2

Example 2

  1. In Customizing at plant level, you set the Batch valuation without material spec. indicator.
  2. You create the class characteristics CCh1, CCh2 and CCh3.
  3. You create the master inspection characteristics MIC1, MIC2 and MIC3 and link these to the class characteristics CCh1, CCh2 and CCh3 as follows:

Result

Example 1

If you inspect with material specification 1, the inspection results from characteristics 1 and 2 are transferred to the batch classification and are used in batch determination. The inspection specifications are copied from the classification.

If you inspect with material specification 2, the inspection results from characteristics 1, 2 and 3 are transferred to the batch classification and are used in batch determination. The inspection specifications are copied from the classification.

Example 2

In the inspection, the inspection results from characteristics 1, 2 and 3 are transferred to the batch classification and are used in batch determination.
