Use

If new specifications were created or data changed in specifications that are relevant for quality inspection, you can create one or more inspection plans for these specifications.

One inspection plan is created for each combination of specification, rating, plant, and material. You also have the possibility of grouping ratings together. In this case, an inspection plan is created for every combination of specification, plant, and material. If, during creation of the inspection plan, data is found to overlap in one value assignment type for one specification, a message to this effect appears in the Log. In these overlap cases, no data is transferred to the inspection plan from this particular value assignment type.

You have the option of assigning a change number to inspection plans. To do this, you must have created the corresponding change numbers in engineering change management in Logistics and approved the change number for use in inspection plans.
