Editing Defect Records (SAP Library - Defects Recording (QM-IM-RR-DEF))

Editing Defect Records

Use

Once a defect record has been created in the system, you can display, change, and delete the record. While there are no restrictions in displaying a defect record, certain limitations apply if you want to change or delete a record (for example, if you want to add or remove additional information from a record).

Automatically Created Defect Records

The system can change the defect data in automatically created defect records as long as the usage decision has not been made for the inspection lot. For example, if you inspect an inspection lot once more and the defect data has changed, the system automatically deletes the incorrect data and replaces it with the correct data.

Automatically created defect records are deleted by the system automatically if the valuation of an inspection characteristic is changed during results recording.

Manually Created Defect Records

You can change or delete defect records that were created manually as long as the inspection has not been completed and the usage decision has not been made.

If the usage decision has been made, you can only change or delete automatically and manually created defect records using the functions to process quality notifications.

Note

All inactive defect records that have not been activated as quality notifications are completed when the usage decision is made. You must process all defect records that have been activated as quality notifications using the Quality Notification component.
