Use

Even after an inspection lot has been released in order for inspection results to be recorded, you may need to make allowances for additional characteristics for results recording. Therefore, you can create additional inspection characteristics for the inspection lot that are not contained in the task list during results recording. You can also enter inspection results for these additional inspection characteristics.

Prerequisites

Fully maintained master inspection characteristics are used as the basis for defining additional inspection characteristics (Complete copy model or Reference characteristic attribute).

Note

You cannot create unplanned characteristics, if an approval requirement was defined for the inspection lot in Customizing for Quality Management under Environment ® Central Functions ® Authorization Management ® Define Authorization Groups ® Authorization groups for QM materials.

Procedure

  1. Choose Create additional characteristic on the characteristic overview screen.

    2. The screen for choosing a master inspection characteristic appears.

  2. Enter a Master inspection characteristic.

The specifications for this characteristic are copied when you define the unplanned characteristic.

If you have authorization to change the master inspection characteristic, you can change the copied characteristic specifications.

You can make the following changes:

Quantitative characteristic

Qualitative characteristic

Short text

Short text

Upper tolerance

  

Lower tolerance

  

Target value

  

Number of decimal places

  

  1. If necessary, change the specifications and then choose Continue.
  2. If the indicator is set for a sampling procedure, assign a sampling procedure to the master inspection characteristic.

Note

If the indicator for the sampling procedure is not set in the master inspection characteristic, the system uses the sampling procedure predefined in Customizing at plant level. If a sampling procedure is not predefined at this level, the characteristic is subject to a 100% inspection.

Result

The system indicates the number under which the characteristic was created. The system administrator in Customizing maintains the first characteristic number for unplanned characteristics.

You can now process the new characteristic as a planned characteristic.
