Use

During the course of a stability study, you may want to change the scope of an inspection plan for a storage condition. For example, you may decide to:

As long as the stability planning phase for a stability study has not been completed and you have not defined a start date for the stability study, you can change the scope of an inspection plan for a storage condition without having to perform any additional steps. If test dates for the study have already been scheduled or if inspection lots already exist for future test dates for which the changes in the inspection plan should apply, you must perform additional steps beyond making the changes in the plan.

Procedure

The following table outlines the steps you must perform when you change the scope of an inspection plan for a storage condition.

If you change the scope of an inspection plan for a storage condition as follows:

Then proceed as follows:

You add a package to an inspection plan for a storage condition that:

  • Was previously not used in the testing schedule
  • Applies to a future test date within the predefined scheduling period (duration of the stability study)

Update the scheduling in the transaction for scheduling the maintenance plan (testing schedule) by performing one of the following procedures, depending whether test dates have already been called or not:

You add a package to an inspection plan for a storage condition that:

  • Was previously not used in the testing schedule
  • Applies to a future test date that does not lie within the predefined scheduling period (duration of the stability study)
  1. Change the scheduling period in the testing schedule (see Maintenance plan scheduling parameters tab).
  2. Update the scheduling in the testing schedule.

You add a package (which already exists in the current inspection plan and testing schedule), to another inspection operation in the same inspection plan.

The test date for this package has already been called (that is, an inspection lot has been created), but the test itself has not yet been performed.

The inspection operation that you want to test the package date is not included in the inspection lot that was created for the storage condition.

Choose one of the following options, depending on the situation that applies:

  • If only one future test date exists that has been called and which is affected by the plan change, you simply Structure linkreset the sample calculation for the inspection lot for the storage condition. You must then re-trigger the sample calculation manually.
  • If several future test dates have already been called, you create a manual call for each test date of the added package.

You add new inspection characteristics to an inspection operation in an inspection plan. These inspection characteristics should be included for testing beginning at a specific point in time, when an inspection lot is created for a test date.

Choose one of the following options, depending on the situation that applies:

  • If the system has not created any calls for the test dates when you want to begin testing, no further activities are necessary.
  • If the system has already created calls for the test dates when you want to begin testing, the new inspection characteristics will not be included in the inspection lots for the corresponding storage condition to which the inspection plan is assigned.
    • If only one future test date exists, which has been called and which is affected by the plan change, you must Structure linkreset the sample calculation for the inspection lot for the storage condition. You must then re-trigger the sample calculation manually.
    • If several future test dates have already been called, you must perform the following steps for each of these test dates (assuming the tests for the created inspection lots have not yet been performed):
      1. Structure linkCreate a manual call for a date and its corresponding package.
      2. Structure linkCancel all unneeded, automatically created inspection lots for the package call date.
