Dynamic Modification Rule (SAP Library - Dynamic Modification of the Inspection Scope)

Dynamic Modification Rule

Definition

The basic data record contains the definition of the inspection stages, the dynamic modification time (at lot creation or after the usage decision has been made), and the conditions for the inspection stage change. Inspection stage changes occur on the basis of the inspection results that are recorded for inspection lots and inspection characteristics (that is, on the basis of their acceptance or rejection).

Use

You can vary the inspection scope using dynamic modification rules. You can store a dynamic modification rule in one of the following places:

In the inspection plan at the header level
In the inspection plan at the characteristic level
In the inspection setup of the material master record at the inspection type level

Structure

A dynamic modification rule contains the definition of the inspection stages, the dynamic modification time, and the conditions that lead to an inspection stage change.

There are always two options that apply to the conditions for an inspection stage change: An acceptance (OK) and rejection (not OK). The system uses these conditions to update the quality level, which always reflects the current status.

The following graphic clarifies the dynamic modification process.

This graphic is explained in the accompanying text

The functions for maintaining and displaying dynamic modification rules are primarily contained on three screens:

On the initial screen, you enter the identifier for the dynamic modification rule.

On the header data screen, you maintain a short text and the blocking indicator, and define the time of dynamic modification (at lot creation or when the usage decision is made) and the reset period.

Note

The reset period defines the period of time, which must elapse before the quality level again uses the initial inspection stage specified in the dynamic modification rule as the current inspection stage.

On the inspection stages screen, you edit the inspection stage data (inspection severity, skip, initial inspection stage, and short text). You create the rules for the inspection stage change on this screen.

Note

In QM, the inspection stage describes a test or inspection status that is based on the inspection history and predefined rules. Different inspection stages mean that there are also different inspection scopes and/or inspection severities.
