Assign Inspection Types to Maintenance/Service Order Types

In this work step, you assign the

QM inspection types to the PM/SM order types.

These settings result in an inspection lot being generated automatically for the corresponding order when a PM/SM order is released.

This inspection lot can then be processed further in the QM System, within the framework of results recording and of a usage decision.

Example

You create a maintenance order, that should result in the inspection of several pieces of inspection or measurement equipment.

These pieces of test or measurement equipment are usually created as pieces of equipment. In a maintenance task list, you have previously assigned inspection characteristics to one or more operations.

This can concern qualitative or also quantitative inspection characteristics.

During order release an inspection lot is created. This inspection lot refers to the inspection characteristics and the test equipment of the maintenance order.

You can enter results of the individual pieces of test equipment and their characteristics in the QM System. Finally, there is a usage decision for the individual pieces of test equipment. This usage decision can necessitate follow-up actions in the PM System.

Possible follow-up actions include:

• Change of equipment status (Prerequisite: equipment is a PRT),

• Measurement document recording in Plant Maintenance (Prerequisite: master inspection characteristics in the QM System and measuring points in the PM System refer to the same, general class characteristic),

• Change of inspection frequency or to the inspection interval if maintenance plans are used. (Change of cycle modification factor in the maintenance plan).

Requirement

The inspection types must be maintained in Customizing of the QM System.
