Dependent Multiple Samples (SAP Library

Dependent Multiple Samples

Use

Using this function, you can process double sampling inspections and multiple sampling inspections (up to seven samples) according to DIN 2859, part 1.

If you set the indicator for dependent multiple samples, you define an additional valuation rule for dependent multiple samples in the sampling procedure. The type of valuation is stored in the valuation mode, using a valuation rule. Once the dependent multiple samples have been valuated, the characteristic is valuated using the valuation rule for dependent multiple samples, which is assigned to the sampling procedure.

Integration

When you valuate the inspection results of dependent multiple samples, you have the following options:

The sample is accepted immediately.
The sample is rejected immediately.
A clear valuation of the sample cannot be made because the number of nonconforming units or number of defects in the sample is higher than the acceptance number and lower than the rejection number.

In this case, the system uses the assigned sampling scheme to determine the next sampling plan and displays this in a dialog box. In the dialog box, you can manually valuate the sample or take the new sampling plan as a basis for a new valuation of the sample. The sample size and the number of nonconforming units cumulate when dependent multiple samples are processed.

Prerequisites

You can only use dependent multiple samples if you:

Did not specify inspection points in your task list

Specified a sampling type with a sampling scheme

Specified a valuation mode for an attributive inspection

Defined the function module for valuating dependent multiple samples in the valuation rule for dependent multiple samples in Customizing

Set the indicator Dependent multiple samples in Customizing

Activities

To process dependent multiple samples, proceed as follows:

Set the indicator for dependent multiple samples.
In the dialog box for the sample, specify data for the sampling plan.
Choose an identifier and short text for the valuation rule for dependent multiple samples predefined in Customizing.

If you defined more than one valuation rule in Customizing, a dialog box appears that displays all the existing valuation rules. From this list, you select one valuation rule.

If only one valuation rule exists, the system automatically assigns this valuation rule.

The number of dependent multiple samples is specified by the respective sampling plan of the assigned sampling scheme.
