 Creating Multiple Specifications in an Existing Inspection Plan

Prerequisites

You can only create multiple specifications in an existing inspection plan using the Engineering Workbench (EWB). This procedure assumes that you:

  • Have performed the necessary steps in Customizing for Start of the navigation path quality planning (Inspection Planning Next navigation step General Next navigation step Multiple Specifications)and activated the functions for multiple specifications at client level (otherwise the fields for multiple specifications in the Engineering Workbench are hidden). End of the navigation path

  • Have previously worked with the Engineering Workbench and defined a default working area. If this is not the case, refer to the following documentation before proceeding further:

  • Want to add multiple specifications to an existing inspection plan.

Procedure

  1. Choose Start of the navigation path Logistics Next navigation step Quality Management Next navigation step Quality Planning Next navigation step Inspection Planning Next navigation step Inspection Plan Next navigation step Workbench. End of the navigation path

    Note Note

    The screen that appears depends on the default working area you previously defined in an earlier session of the Engineering Workbench .

    End of the note.
  2. On the selection screen, enter the material, plant, and task list type; then choose Start of the navigation path Task Lists Next navigation step Material-Task List Assignments End of the navigation path .

    The overview screen for material-task list assignments appears.

  3. Ensure that a material-only assignment exists in the inspection plan (material number, plant, and possibly the group counter). If not, create this assignment.

    Note Note

    Note that you cannot use the assignments of multiple specifications to objects (country, customer, etc.) for task list determination when the inspection lot is being created. Therefore, you must always create a corresponding material-task list assignment for task list determination.

    End of the note.
  4. To navigate to the task list header level, choose Start of the navigation path Task lists Next navigation step Headers. End of the navigation path

  5. If the inspection plan is called up in the display mode, select the desired inspection plan and choose Change/Lock.

  6. In the header of the desired plan, set the Multiple Specifications indicator.

  7. Select the desired inspection plan and choose Start of the navigation path Task Lists Next navigation step Material-Task List Assignments. End of the navigation path

  8. Create the required object assignments for the multiple specifications. Examples:

    • Material, plant, object, and object type or

    • Material, plant, customer, and object type or

    • Material, plant, customer, object, and object type

      Note Note

      Note that the object type must be compatible with the assignment. With the customer and object assignment in particular, you must decide whether the system should determine the suitability of a batch based on the customer or object.

      End of the note.
  9. To navigate to the level of the dependent characteristic specifications, choose Start of the navigation path Task Lists Next navigation step Dependent Characteristic Specifications End of the navigation path . This is where you define multiple specifications.

  10. In the context block of the EWB, enter the characteristic number and an operation number for which you want to define multiple specifications.

  11. Choose Create.

    The fields for entering the multiple specifications are ready for input.

  12. Position the cursor on the Material field in the table and call up the input help for this field.

    All existing material-task list assignments are displayed.

  13. Select the desired assignment to the customer and/or object, for which you want to define multiple specifications.

  14. Depending on whether you are processing a quantitative or qualitative inspection characteristic, enter the multiple specifications under the respective tab.

    Note Note

    If you want to copy the standard specifications for the characteristic using the reference to a characteristic, set the corresponding indicator. The system then displays the standard specifications. If the reference indicator is set, the standard specifications are always valid for the multiple specification object. The standard specifications are also used in inspection processing as the basis for the valuation of the multiple specification.

    End of the note.
  15. Save the data.
