| # Quality Combinations (qmptc0111m000) Use this session to define quality combinations which, generally speaking, 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. A single quality ID can be used for more than one quality combination. Note For an algorithm, all the characteristics representing the variables of the algorithm must be put in the same test group as the algorithm, otherwise the algorithm will not be generated for a quality ID. Related topics Quality ID's and quality combinations Origin An integrated module or package to which an (inspection) order is related. Quality inspections are executed within a module or package. This field is used to select one of the implemented modules or packages of LN. Note You can maintain the implemented modules and packages in the Quality Management Parameters (qmptc0100m000) session. Quality Group A group of items with similar quality characteristics. The data defined for the quality group are used as defaults for all items of that quality group. Quality Group The Quality Group and all the items in it, for which a certain quality inspection is desired. Item In LN, the raw materials, subassemblies, finished products, and tools that can be purchased, stored, manufactured, sold, and so on. An item can also represent a set of items handled as one (kit), or exist in multiple product variants (generic item). You can also define nonphysical items, which are not held in inventory but can be used to post costs or to invoice services to customers. Examples of nonphysical items: Cost items (for example, electricity) Service items Subcontracting services List items (menus/options) Note Standard items are expressed in an item code. Segmented items consist of a project code segment and an item base segment (the item code of the customized item). The segments that an item can consist of are defined in the Item Code Segmentation (tcibd0500m000) session. Note The quality combination of the item (defined in this session) overrules the quality combination of the quality group to which the item belongs.

Business Partner buy-from business partner/ sold-to business partner Business Partner Displays the Business Partner's name and ID. Routing The sequence of operations required to manufacture an item. For each operation, the task, machine, and work center are specified, as well as information about setup time and cycle time. Routing A quality inspection can take place during or after a certain operation. Operation The operation of the routing. During or after this operation, a certain quality inspection must take place. Task The task which is executed during the operation. Task If there is only one task for this operation, you cannot enter a value in this field. From Warehouse The warehouse from which the item is transferred. To Warehouse The warehouse to which the item is transferred. Sub-Item The component in the BOM for which a certain quality inspection is desired. Note The Line field refers to the line in the BOM. Related topics To use codes Sub-Item Description Displays the sub-item description. QM Only Recommends This field is used to indicate what can be done with the inspection results. If this check box is selected, the inspection results are a recommendation for the user; the user can overwrite these results. If this check box is cleared, the inspection results are mandatory; the user cannot overwrite these results. In this case you cannot use destructive tests. Note This field overrules the value of the QM Only Recommends field in the Quality Management Parameters (qmptc0100m000) session. Blocking Method The blocking method refers to the way in which production, purchase, or sales is stopped or controlled to do inspections. Note If the QM Only Recommends check box is cleared, this field cannot be used. Text Displays text related to quality combinations. Quality ID The code to which data is linked that is necessary to check the quality requirements of an item. Since one quality ID can be used for a group of products that require the same quality standards and tests, a quality ID can considerably reduce time. Quality ID Displays the Quality ID.
