If an inspection characteristic has been assigned to an operation (system status ICHA), you can delete the operation if the following requirements have been met:
The inspection characteristic is a "planned" inspection characteristic
QM data (status QMDA) has not yet been recorded for the operation
Delete the inspection lot assigned to the production order.
Delete the operation in question.
Regenerate the inspection lot
This will ensure that the inspection characteristics of the remaining operations remain in the production order.
Note
If you delete an operation that has already been released, the system activates the system status DLFL for the operation, but leaves the operation in the operation overview.
