	<GeneralSection><Paragraph>Standard inspections contain inspection orders that are used to structure the inspection of products that are purchased, produced, transfered, or sold. For products in inventory, a storage inspection order instead of a standard inspection order is used.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>How do standard inspections work:</Paragraph>
		<ProcedureList><ListItem>Inspection orders are created automatically by means of predefined quality combinations, but you can also manually add, delete, or maintain inspection orders based on the origin of the order (see the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/qm/ptc/qmptc1120m000" role="session">Standard Orders - by Origin (qmptc1120m000)</GUIRef> session).</ListItem>
			<ListItem>For each inspection order, you can create different samples with different sample sizes and different dates and times in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/qm/ptc/qmptc1110m000" role="session">Inspection Order - Samples (qmptc1110m000)</GUIRef> session. ERP checks if the total of all samples matches the sample size.</ListItem>
			<ListItem>After you created samples, you can enter the test data in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/qm/ptc/qmptc1115m000" role="session">Sample - Test Data by Characteristic (qmptc1115m000)</GUIRef> session (by characteristic) or the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/qm/ptc/qmptc1116m000" role="session">Sample - Test Data by Serial Number (qmptc1116m000)</GUIRef> session (by serial number). The session in which you enter the test data depends on the settings in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/qm/ptc/qmptc0100m000" role="session">Quality Management Parameters (qmptc0100m000)</GUIRef> session. When the test data is entered, the system will generate the overall results defined for that specific characteristic.</ListItem>
			<ListItem>You can complete Inspection collectively by order, origin, or storage in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/qm/ptc/qmptc1202m000" role="session">Complete and Process Inspection Orders (qmptc1202m000)</GUIRef> session. If an inspection order is completed, ERP checks if all test data is entered. If not, the inspection order cannot be completed.</ListItem>
			<ListItem>Inspection orders can be processed by inspection order, by origin, and by storage inspection in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/qm/ptc/qmptc1204m000" role="session">Process Inspection Orders (qmptc1204m000)</GUIRef> session. ERP determines the good and the bad pieces in the sample size. Based on this evaluation, ERP calculates the actual accepted and rejected quantities. These accepted and rejected quantities are compared with the acceptable quality level (AQL) entered in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/qm/ptc/qmptc0136m000" role="session">Test Groups (qmptc0136m000)</GUIRef> details session. If the percentage of accepted quantity is less than the AQL, the entire order or lot is rejected. In case of continuous sampling, the part of the order displayed in the <GUIRef href="qmptc036.freq" role="tablefield">Frequency</GUIRef> field is rejected.</ListItem>
		</ProcedureList>
		<Paragraph>If an algorithm was defined for a characteristic, this algorithm is calculated during inspection. Each algorithm is only calculated when the variables (characteristics) needed for that algorithm are entered.</Paragraph>
