Use

If a defect record was created automatically or manually, it is initially inactive. The system stores this inactive defect record as a quality notification with the following status:

Critical defects must be processed further as quality notifications (see Activating Quality Notifications) while critical defects are only documented (see Completing Inactive Defect Records).

Note

In the inspection type, you can specify that all recorded defects for an inspection lot be documented in a single quality notification (as opposed to a single quality notification for all defects recorded for an operation). You define the inspection types in Customizing for Quality Inspection under Inspection Lot Processing ® Inspection Lot Creation ® Maintain inspection types.

Integration

The recorded defect data is automatically updated in the QM Information System. The QM Information System is a flexible tool for collecting, consolidating and analyzing data from the inspection processes.
