QM: Inspection Specifications from the
Variant Configuration
Description
In addition to the task list and the material specification, you
can now use the characteristics from the variant configuration as
inspection specifications in an inspection lot.
Prerequisites
Each general characteristic to be copied into the inspection
lot must be linked to one master inspection characteristic.
In the QM inspection data of the material master, you must set
the indicator for an inspection on the basis of the variant
configuration. This applies to the inspection types assigned to the
inspection lot origins 01, 03, and 04.
Available functions:
If you valuate a general characteristic in the variant
configuration (for example, with an interval), the system uses the
valuation as an inspection specification.
If a general characteristic in the variant configuration is
hidden because of an object dependency (precondition) and the
associated master inspection characteristic in the task list or
material specification is defined as a required characteristic, the
system changes the characteristic to an optional characteristic for
the inspection.
Example of an inspection for inspection lot origin 01
(goods receipt for a purchase order)
You have stored a configuration in the material master
(material variant).
You create a purchase order for this material.
You post a goods receipt; the system creates an inspection
lot.
The specifications from the variant configuration are copied
into the inspection lot.
Example of an inspection for inspection lot origin 03
(inspection during production)
A customer specifies the configuration of a product in the
sales order.
The system creates a production order for the sales order.
When the production order is released, the system creates an
inspection lot which contains the customer specifications as an
inspection specification.
Example for an inspection for inspection lot origin 04
(goods receipt for production order)
A customer specifies the configuration of a product in the
sales order.
The system creates a production order for the sales order.
When the goods receipt is posted for the production order, the
system creates an inspection lot which contains the characteristic
specifications from the variant configuration.
If a characteristic is contained in the variant configuration
and the task list or material specification, the specifications in
the variant configuration have priority. Characteristics that were
valuated in the variant configuration, but are not contained in the
task list or material specification are also inspected.
