| # Inspection Orders (qmptc1100m000) Use this session to maintain the inspection orders that were generated by default, or to manually add new inspection orders. Tabs In the details session, you find the following tabs: General, to enter or modify the general data of the inspection order. Methodology, to enter or modify the methodology with which the inspection order is tested. Note You can only define and modify inspection orders if the Inspection Status field is set to Free or Active (see the Standard Orders - by Origin (qmptc1120m000) session), and if no order lines have an order line status that is set to Completed (see the Inspection Order - Lines (qmptc1101m000) session). Related topics Standard inspections Origin An integrated module or package to which an (inspection) order is related. Origin Order The order number of the order for which inspection is needed. Position The position number on the order to which the inspection order is linked. This can be the position number of the sales order line, purchase order line, or the position number in the BOM. Operation One of a series of steps in a routing that are carried out successively to produce an item. The following data is collected during a routing operation: The task. For example, sawing. The machine used to carry out the task (optional). For example, sawing machine. The place where the task is carried out (work center). For example, woodwork. The number of employees required to carry out the task. This data is used to compute order lead times, to plan production orders and to calculate cost prices. Sequence The sequence number of the inspection order on the basis of which characteristics are tested on different samples. Inspection Displays a list of the inspection order lines generated for a particular inspection order. These lines correspond to characteristics maintained for each of the test groups that are linked to the quality ID. Inspection Displays the sequence of the inspection that is carried out. Handling Unit A uniquely identifiable physical unit that consists of packaging and contents. A handling unit can contain items registered in Warehouse Management and other handling units. A handling unit has a structure of packaging materials used to pack items, or is a part of such a structure. A handling unit includes the following attributes: Identification code Packaging item (optional) Quantity of packaging items (optional) If you link an item to a handling unit, the item is packed by means of the handling unit. The packaging item refers to the type of container or other packing material of which the handling unit consists. For example, by defining a packaging item such as Wooden Crate for a handling unit, you specify that the handling unit is a wooden crate. Inspection Status The current status of the inspection order. The status changes during several sessions. Inspection Order An order used to structure the inspection of products that are purchased, produced, or sold. Order Quantity The quantity that corresponds to the origin order. Order Quantity The ordered quantity. 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 an item can consist of are defined in the Item Code Segmentation (tcibd0500m000) session. Test Type Specification of the way in which the samples are taken from the order quantity. Allowed values Possible Values Frequency The interval between two samples, expressed in the frequency unit. Explanation: A new sample of 10 pieces is drawn for every 100 pieces. In this case there will be 11 samples of 10 pieces. Example
Sample | 10 pieces
Frequency | 100 pieces
Order quantity | 1150 pieces
Frequency You cannot continue the inspection procedure when your order quantity is less than the frequency quantity (for example, when your order quantity is 40, and your frequency quantity is 50). In such a case, no samples can be generated, and you must decrease the frequency quantity. Percentage The sample size is the total quantity that is to be tested. In this field, the sample size is expressed as a percentage of either the order quantity or the frequency (in case you selected Continuous Sampling as the test type). Unit The unit of the sample size. Sample Size The size of the item for which the quality is tested. Acceptable Quality Level The minimum percentage of a test sample that must be approved to have the entire item quantity approved. For instance, if the AQL is set to 90 and the percentage approved lies below that figure, the entire quantity is rejected. Text The text to describe the quality. 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. Test Group The definition of how often you take samples to test an order quantity, and what the sample size is. Order Date The date on which the inspection order is created. Completion Date The date on which all inspection order lines are completed. This date is updated automatically in the Complete and Process Inspection Orders (qmptc1202m000) session and cannot be entered manually. Print Inspection Orders Displays the option to print the inspection orders. |
