You can use field CHAR_VERS (depending upon the setting you choose) to create various characteristic variants in Customizing for QM. A new variant is created when the contents of any of the fields of this structure changes during the characteristic preparation in the STI Interface. Such variants can be useful, for example, when changes to the tolerance or action limits should be displayed. If you do not need variants created, then a new evaluation characteristic will be created.

Note

For fields of type FLTP, the initial value is SPACE.

Fields

The individual fields of the table are described here in more detail:

REPORT_NO

Contains the number assigned to the evaluation.

CHAR_NO

Contains the characteristic number for this characteristic version.

CHAR_VERS

Contains the characteristic version. This is created when the QM application creates the interface records. There is no connection to the change and version management in QM.

DEC_PLACES

Contains the number of decimal places used in the inspection results.

MEAS_UNIT

Contains the internal representation for the unit of measurement of the characteristic.

MEAS_UNITT

Contains the short text of the internal unit of measurement in the logon language.

MEAS_UNITC

Contains the ISO code for the unit of measurement, if this was assigned in the R/3 System. In contrast to the internal representation of the unit of measurement, this field can be interpreted by an external statistics system.

Note

The ISO codes are assigned to internal units of measurement in transaction CUNI.

TARGET_VAL

Contains the target value for the characteristic.

UP_TOL_LMT

Contains the upper limiting value.

LW_TOL_LMT

Contains the lower limiting value.

UP_LMT_1

Contains upper limit 1 of the characteristic.

LW_LMT_1

Contains lower limit 1 of the characteristic.

UP_LMT_2

Contains upper limit 2 of the characteristic.

LW_LMT_2

Contains lower level 2 of the characteristic.

UP_PLS_LMT

Contains the upper plausibility limit of the characteristic.

LW_PLS_LMT

Contains the lower plausibility limit of the characteristic.

UP_CTRL_1

Contains the first upper action limit (e.g., for This graphic is explained in the accompanying text ). If a quality control chart exists in QM for the characteristic, it’s action limits are transferred.

The field can also be filled using SAP enhancement QIST0005. In the sample coding for the enhancement you are shown how you can use the first upper pair of limits as action limits in the characteristic.

LW_CTRL_1

Contains the first lower action limit.

UP_CTRL_2

Contains the second upper action limit (e.g., for s). If a two-track quality control chart exists in QM for the characteristic, the upper action limit of track 2 is transferred.

LW_CTRL_2

Contains the second lower action limit.

CC_NO

Contains the control chart number in QM application component, if a control chart exists for the characteristic.

USERC1, USERC2, USER C3

These fields are not used by QM. They can be used however in customer enhancements to transport additional data.

Note

You can use SAP enhancement QIST0005 to influence the creation of entries for this table. The customer function is called after the data fields are filled. In this way, you can either modify the contents of the data fields or fill the user fields. The key fields are not filled at this point and cannot be changed.
