 Editing the Material Specification

  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 Material specification Next navigation step Edit. End of the navigation path

  1. On the initial screen, enter a Material and choose Characteristics .

The characteristic assignments screen in the material specification appears. The system displays QM-relevant class characteristics from the batch class that has been assigned to this material. The master inspection characteristics that were linked to class characteristics when the master inspection characteristics were processed are only shown when you edit the material specification.

The indicator Reference is set as a default value for all characteristic assignments in the material specification. This means that values (such as tolerances) are dynamically transferred to the material specification. If this indicator is set, the following can occur:

  • If there is a link between a master inspection characteristic and a class characteristic in the material specification, the values (such as tolerances) are copied from the batch class of the material. Entries cannot be made in the corresponding fields in the material specification.

  • If there is no link between a master inspection characteristic and a class characteristic in the material specification, the values (such as tolerances) are copied from the master inspection characteristic. Entries cannot be made in the corresponding fields in the material specification.

  1. If the Smpl procedure control indicator is set in the master inspection characteristic, you must enter one of the following sampling procedures in the dialog box for Values

  • Sampling procedure for a lot-based inspection

  • Sampling procedure for an inspection point-based inspection

What You Should Know

Enter new master inspection characteristics

Choose New characteristic and enter the required master inspection characteristic. If necessary, use the possible entries help.

To use a master inspection characteristic in the material specification, the master inspection characteristic must be fully maintained (reference characteristic or complete copy model) and released.

If a complete copy model has been entered, the reference is cancelled immediately, if the master inspection characteristic in the material specification is not assigned to a class characteristic.

Assign a new or other master inspection characteristic to a class characteristic

Enter the corresponding master inspection characteristic.

The values (such as tolerances) are copied from the batch class as inspection specifications.

Reference a master inspection characteristic

Enter the corresponding master inspection characteristic and choose Create reference .

The values (such as tolerances) are taken from the master inspection characteristic as inspection specifications, that is, changes that were made to the values in the master inspection characteristic without history are included in the material specification.

Cancel a reference to a master inspection characteristic

Select the required master inspection characteristic and choose Cancel reference .

You can unlock one or several master inspection characteristics, to change the specifications.

If you change the inspection specifications, these new values are then stored in the material specification for the material. The changes you make directly to the values in the master inspection characteristic no longer affect the values in the material specification.

You can only cancel the reference for master inspection characteristics that do not have a link to class characteristics of the batch class in the material specification.

Delete an assignment

Select the required master inspection characteristic and choose Delete .
