| Use this session to maintain the parameters of the Quality Management package. These parameters control the general features in the Quality Management package and integrate this package with modules of other packages. Tabs Origin Select origins as a basis for quality inspections. Series Select number groups and series for inspection order numbers. In addition, the Step Size for Lines field is selected. Blocking Reasons Select blocking reasons for routing (TI). You must fill out this tab when you check the Routing (TI) check box on the Origin tab. Remaining Miscellaneous options, for instance the way you enter test data (by unit or by characteristic).
