Using Profiles

Use

Often, the same values are assigned to the same fields in different inspection plans. In such cases, it is advisable to predefine these fields in a profile and call them up when maintaining an inspection plan, thereby reducing the amount of work involved in entering data.

The information contained in the profile is a default that you can change, when you create and change inspection plans.

Note Note

In addition, you can define profiles in Customizing for QM.

End of the note.

Procedure

In the plan overview, header detail screen, operation overview or inspection characteristic overview of the inspection plan, choose Extras Profile .

The Default Values for General Data screen appears.

Enter the following data, as required:

Field	What You Should Know
Task list unit	Default value for the base unit of measure of the material to be produced
Predefined plnt	Default value for the plant that applies to all operations
Use	Default value for the area, in which the inspection plan is to be used
Status	Default value for the inspection plan status
Op./act. incrmt	Default value for the increment that is to be used for automatic numbering of the operations
Base quantity	Default value for the base unit of measure of the material to be produced
Denominator	Default value of the denominator for the conversion into base units of measure
Numerator	Default value of the numerator for the conversion into base units of measure

To call QM-specific default values, choose QM data .

The Default Values for Quality Assurance screen appears.

Enter the following data, as required:

Field	What You Should Know
Char. increment	Default value for the intervals, in which the inspection characteristic numbers are to be created in the inspection plan.
Ch. insrt incr.	Increments that are to be used if new inspection characteristics are added between already existing characteristics.
Assign. increment	Default value for the intervals, in which the assignment numbers are to be created
Sample unit	Base unit of measure for sample determination for a characteristic
Base smpl. qty	Factor for calculating the inspection quantity The system uses this factor to calculate the size of the single sample that is required for the inspection of the characteristic
