In certain situations, the system can choose the report type automatically or at least limit the list of available report types. This applies to the following situations:
- Only one report type is set in Customizing.
The report type is copied automatically.
- One or more report types have been assigned to a work center .
You can assign one or more report types to a work center. If such a work center is referenced in an inspection operation for which you want to record defects, you can use the possible entries help to display only the report types that have been assigned to this work center. If the work center only has one report type assigned to it, the system automatically chooses the report type.
- You have already recorded defects, and you want to:
- Manually record additional defects for an inspection lot, operation, or characteristic without entering a report type
- Manually change existing defect records for an inspection lot, operation, or characteristic without entering a report type
- Generate additional defect records within results recording
In such cases, the system responds in one of the following ways:
- If only one valid report type exists, the system automatically chooses the report type and displays the defects recording screen.
- If several valid report types exist, the system displays a list of report types in a dialog box. After you have chosen a report type, the system displays the defects recording screen.
