Processing Inspection Operations (SAP Library - Inspection Planning with the Engineering Workbench)

Processing Inspection Operations

Use

You use inspection operations to describe individual inspection steps in an inspection plan and to define the work center and the default values for an inspection.

Prerequisites

The header data for the inspection plan is already defined in the system.

The master records used (for example, work center) must have been created and released in the system.

The unit of measure defined in the header of a reference operation set that is to be referenced is the same as the unit of measure in the existing inspection plan.

Procedure

Choose Task Lists ® Operations.

Choose the tab page Operations general.

Process the required operations. You can link to reference operation sets to simplify data entry.

Enter in the operations overview screen or in the operations detail screen of the tab page Operations general for example the following data:

Field	What You Should Know
Operation ID	You can enter an operation ID. The operation ID must contain at least one non-numerical character. If you do not enter an operation ID, the system generates one automatically. An operation ID generated by the system only contains numerical values. After you have created an operation you can no longer change its operation ID.
Operation	You define the operation number used for determining the order of the operations. You can overwrite the proposed value.
Work center/Plant	You define the place where the inspection is to take place or the person responsible for carrying out the inspection. You can overwrite the proposed entry for the plant.
Control key	The control key defines the business relevance of the operation. Make sure that the Inspection characteristics indicator is set in Customizing.
Standard text key	The standard text key provides a default for the description of an operation. This key simplifies data entry.
Short text	You enter a describing short text for the operation.
Long text	You enter a describing long text for the operation.

Choose the tab page Quality management and enter for example the following data:

Recording view	You enter the recording view that is to appear when you confirm inspection results.
Insp.pointCompletion	You enter the reference and the type of valuation for the inspection point. If you have defined inspection points in the task list header, this is a required entry. You can overwrite the proposed entry.

Choose the tab page Processing time and enter for example the following data:

Base quantity	You define the base quantity for the material to be manufactured. The default values for the operation relate to this quantity. You can overwrite the proposed value.
Operation unit	You define the unit for the material to be manufactured. You can overwrite the proposed value.
Convert units of measure	You define, how to convert the units for the material defined in the task list header into the operation units.

Choose the detail screen of the tab page User fields and enter a user-specific field key (template for keywords (field name) for user-defined fields).

Save the data.

The system writes all the data of your worklist to the database.

Note

The authorization for entering data at operation level is controlled by the authorization object for the characteristics contained in the task list.

Additional Functions on the Operations Overview Screen

Function	Pushbutton/Menu Path	What You Should Know
Creating operation	Create pushbutton	You can create a new operation.
Changing operation	Change/Lock pushbutton	You read the selected operation data from the database into your worklist and therefore protect this data from being accessed by other users.
Displaying operation	Display/Unlock pushbutton	You write the selected operation data from the your worklist to the database and therefore unlock this data for access by other users.
Copying operation	Copy pushbutton	You can copy the operation data to use it in a different operation.
Multi-level copying of operation	Multi-level copy pushbutton	You can copy the operation data to use it in a different operation. All objects belonging to this operation (for example, PRTs, inspection characteristics) are also copied.
Deleting an operation	Delete pushbutton	You can delete the selected operations. All objects belonging to this operation (for example, PRTs, inspection characteristics) are also deleted.
Referencing a reference operation set	Create reference to reference op. set pushbutton	When you create an inspection operation, you can reference one or several reference operation set(s).
Referencing a work center operation set	Create reference to work center op. set pushbutton	When you create an inspection operation, you can reference one or several work center operation set(s).
Printing task list	Print pushbutton	You can print the task list.
Switch to the first operation	First record pushbutton	If you selected several operations, you switch to the first operation, which was selected.
Switch to the previous operation	Previous record pushbutton	If you selected several operations, you switch to the previous operation, which was selected.
Switch to the next operation	Next record pushbutton	If you selected several operations, you switch to the next operation, which was selected.
