Consistency checks

Definition

Indicator you use to specify that a consistency check is automatically carried out before a task list with this status is saved.

The following tables show which checks are carried out for task lists in the individual applications.

If the system finds inconsistencies, you can decide whether you still want to save. The results of the check are documented in a checking log.

Project System (PS) and Plant Maintenance (PM):

You cannot carry out consistency checks for these areas. The indicator is ignored if set here.

Standard sequence	The validity period of the standard sequence does
	not agree with the header.
Number of operations	The same number was assigned more than once.

Branch and	The branch operation is greather than the
Return operations	return operation.
	The branch or return operation in a sequence was
	deleted.
	The smallest operation number in an alternative
	sequence is less than the branch operation in the
	standard sequence.
	The largest operation number in an alternative
	sequence is greater than the return operation in
	the standard sequence.
Units of measure	The header unit does not agree with the unit of
	the referenced operation set.
Lot size ranges	The lot size range of an alternative sequence
	exceeds that of the header.
	The lot size range of the header or of an
	alternative sequence exceeds that of the referenced
	operation set.
Insp.characteristics	The indicator for inspection characteristics
	is set in the control key of the operation, however,
	no inspection characteristics exist for the
	operation.
