Use

You can trigger the simulation of a certificate from the certificate profile. When you simulate certificate creation, the system uses actual data. This means that you need a material master record, if necessary, a batch and an inspection lot, characteristics, and a delivery item for the material (and batch, if necessary). The system does not check the status of the certificate profile during simulation. Therefore, you can use a certificate profile that you have created, but not yet released. You can also use a certificate that is currently blocked.

Procedure

  1. Choose Logistics → Quality management → Quality certificate → Output → Certificate profile ® Display or Change.
  2. Enter the name of the certificate profile on the initial screen and choose Header data.
  3. Choose Extras ® Certificate view on the header data screen.
  4. Enter the language key, delivery and item number in the dialog box.

    5. Before you start the simulation you may want to check the delivery. Choose Delivery to display the delivery.

  5. Choose Certificate view to simulate certificate creation.

    6. The system selects the required data and then displays a window with the print parameters.

  6. Confirm the output device, number of copies, and output options.
  7. Choose Print preview to display the certificate online.

Choose Print to print the certificate.

The certificate is labeled as a test printout, so it is not mistaken for a valid certificate.
