8D: Technical Implementation

Technically, an 8D problem analysis is a QIM issue with a special issue type for 8D problem analysis (Q8D). For this issue type, steps are delivered in Customizing for QIM under Start of the navigation path Issue Processing Next navigation step Problem-Solving Methodologies Define Steps End of the navigation path for which you can make other settings (for example, assign timepoints). Each step corresponds to an 8D discipline.

To enable the eight disciplines or steps to be displayed on the user interface, a dedicated Web Dynpro application configuration is delivered for the 8D issue type (QIM_OVP_8DISS2). This application configuration is assigned to the issue type Q8D in Customizing for issue types.

Note Note

8D problem analyses can only be created by choosing Start of the navigation path Create Next navigation step Quality Issue (Advanced) End of the navigation path . In the applications for quick and guided creation of issues, all issue types to which a delivered 8D application configuration (for example, QIM_OVP_8DISS2) is assigned are filtered out by the Business Add-In (BAdI) BADI_QAM_GEN_APPL_CONTROLLER.

End of the note.
