			<List><ListIntro>An important rule in QM is that the following units must have the same physical quantity, e.g. " <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/domains/tctccu.#length" role="enum">Length</GUIRef> ":</ListIntro>
				<ListItem><GUIRef href="qmptc001.chun" role="tablefield">Characteristic Unit</GUIRef>

			<GeneralSection><SectionTitle>2a. ORDER QUANTITY</SectionTitle>
				<Paragraph>The quantity for which the inspection is required. Consequently, the result of the inspection order decides the quality of this quantity.</Paragraph>
				<Paragraph>Depending on the origin of the order, the applicable quantity is:</Paragraph>
				<List><ListItem>Sales order quantity</ListItem>
					<ListItem>Purchase order quantity (the delivered quantity)</ListItem>
					<ListItem>Production order quantity</ListItem>
					<ListItem>Production batch quantity</ListItem>
				</List>

			<GeneralSection><SectionTitle>2b. SAMPLE SIZE</SectionTitle>
				<Paragraph></Paragraph>
				<Paragraph>The sample size is the total quantity of samples that are to be tested of the order quantity, expressed in the unit of the sample size.</Paragraph>
				<Paragraph>The sample size can be entered as a figure or as a percentage of either the order quantity or the frequency.</Paragraph>
			</GeneralSection>
			<GeneralSection><SectionTitle>2c. SAMPLE QUANTITY</SectionTitle>
				<Paragraph></Paragraph>
				<Paragraph>The actual quantity which is drawn from the total quantity. Each sample quantity can be split up into smaller parts or test quantities.</Paragraph>
			</GeneralSection>
			<GeneralSection><SectionTitle>2d. TEST QUANTITY</SectionTitle>
				<Paragraph></Paragraph>
				<Paragraph>The test quantity is a part, an exact factor of the sample size, which is tested each time, and is expressed in the same unit as the sample size. For each test quantity, the result of the test can be entered in session <GUIRef href="/baanerp/qm/ptc/qmptc1115m000" role="session">Sample - Test Data by Characteristic (qmptc1115m000)</GUIRef>.</Paragraph>
