| Quality ID's and quality combinations |  |
| A quality ID is the link between the item that needs to be inspected and the master data that determines what is tested for an item. Using a quality ID prevents you to define or adjust the master data for each new inspection. Moreover, a quality ID enables you to use one characteristic multiple times with each time different limits. Procedure to create quality IDs in Quality Management Step 1. Name the quality ID in the Quality IDs (qmptc0110m000) session. Step 2. Link characteristics to the quality ID in the Quality ID - Characteristics (qmptc0115m000) session. This link determines what particular qualities of the item should be measured. Step 3. Link test groups to the quality ID in the Test Groups (qmptc0136m000) session. This link determines the test type and the sample size of the test. Link characteristics to the test groups in the Test Group Characteristics (qmptc0137m000) session. This link determines which characteristics should be tested in what way. A very important session in Quality Management is the Quality Combinations (qmptc0111s000) session. In this session you link quality IDs to an origin. These quality combinations are the primary input for the creation of inspection orders and consist of three parts: The module from which inspections originate The item or quality group that applies to the combination The quality ID that applies to the combination |
