By defining the inspection point type in the sampling procedure, you specify whether the system is to create inspection points for an inspection lot, and if so, how many are to be created. You can choose from the following inspection point types:

• You choose Without insp. points for sample determination without inspection points (for example, sample determination without an inspection plan or sample determination for an inspection lot with an inspection plan, in which no inspection points are specified) In this case, no inspection points are generated.
• You choose Free inspection pts for sample determination for inspection lots during production, for which you freely define an inspection point.
• You choose Plant maintenance if the sampling procedure is used in a task list in Plant Maintenance and if an inspection point is created for all items of equipment corresponding to the inspection lot quantity. In this case, you do not need to enter an inspection frequency.
• You choose Sample management, if you use the sampling procedure in a task list with which you want to inspect physical samples (for example, you have defined an inspection point for the inspection point type Physical sample in the task list header). In this case, you do not need to enter an inspection frequency.

In task lists that support an inspection with inspection points, you can only use sampling procedures, for which the corresponding indicator is set. You have the following options:
