Inspection Type

Definition

Determines how an inspection is performed.

Use

When an inspection lot is created, the system uses the inspection lot origin to determine how the inspection lot will be processed. Depending on whether the inspection lot is created automatically or manually, the system determines the inspection type as follows:

When the system creates an inspection lot automatically, it determines the inspection type automatically. For more information on how the system determines the inspection type in such cases, see Inspection Type for Automatically Created Lots .
When you create an inspection lot manually, you must first specify the inspection lot origin. If more than one inspection type is active for a material in the material master, the system prompts you to choose an inspection type.

Note
Although the standard system contains a number of predefined inspection types, you can define additional inspection types to meet your requirements for inspection lot processing.

Controls associated with the inspection type

In Customizing for Inspection Lot Creation under Maintain inspection lot origins and assign inspection types , you can define the following controls for each inspection type:

Inspection lot processing	Assignment of a status profile Proposal of a QM order type for the inspection type Proposal of a selected set for the usage decisio n
Print control	Specifying the printing of the inspection instruction Specifying the printing of the sample-drawing instructio n
Results recording	Specifying the default recording view Specifying which notification type will be created for activated defects Specifying how many notifications will be created for each inspection lo t
Inspection planning	Specifying the task list usage (for example, for goods receipt, production, and so on)

Structure

The standard system contains the following inspection lot origins and inspection types:

Integration

An inspection type is assigned to an inspection lot origin. You can assign more than one inspection type to a single inspection lot origin.
