Linking a Reference Operation Set (SAP Library - Inspection Planning with the Engineering Workbench)

Linking a Reference Operation Set

Use

When creating an inspection operation, you can link to one or several reference operation sets.

Note

You can create where-used lists for reference operation sets and if required, replace these sets with others in one or several operation(s) in inspection plans.

If you change the referenced operation set, this change is also made in the inspection plan.

If you subsequently want to make changes to the data in the inspection operation, you must first cancel the link to the reference operation set (unlock).

Prerequisites

You can only link to a reference operation set if:

It has Released (general) status

The unit of measure that was defined in the header of the set agrees with the unit of measure that was entered in the inspection operation that you want to create.

You have not yet made any entries in the inspection operation fields If you enter data, the system assumes that the inspection operation has already been created and does not therefore allow the use of a reference operation set.

Procedure

In the operation overview screen, choose the Create Reference to reference op. set pushbutton.

A dialog box for creating links to a reference operation set appears.

Enter the following data:

Field	What You Should Know
Operation ID	You enter the operation ID of the operation that you want to create with the help of the reference operation set. 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 number	You enter the operation number that you want to create with the help of the reference operation set.
Standard text key	Default for an operation description; optional entry.
Interval	You enter the increment for operation numbers when the reference is created. You can overwrite the proposed value. This is only relevant, if several operations exist.
Task list group	You enter the task list group of the reference operation set to be linked.
Group counter	You enter the group counter for the reference operation set to be linked. You can overwrite the proposed value.

Choose Continue.

The system copies the operations you chose with their corresponding information into the operation overview. The linked reference operation set is included with one operation number. A symbol indicates, that this operation is a link to a reference operation set or a work center operation set. The data fields are not ready for input. At the bottom of the operation overview the linked operations of task list type S are listed. They are marked by a special symbol.

Note

You cannot enter values in the new fields in the operation overview. This means, that you can not process the data of this operation.

Save the data.

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