| Sample - Test Data by Characteristic (qmptc1115m000) |  |
| Use this session to enter the actual test data after you measure a sample item. The test data is used to accept or reject a quantity based on the sampling results. Each sample which is tested is classified as either Good or Bad. If drawings are present, you can use the Drawing buttons to display: How an item is tested (Test Drawing button). What the characteristic looks like (Characteristic Drawing). What the item looks like (Item Drawing). Use the Evaluate Algorithm button to calculate the value of the algorithm characteristic based on the data of other characteristics. You cannot modify the calculated results. You can only apply this option to orders with an Active status. Related topics Standard inspections
Fields | Description
Inspection Order | The code of the inspection order.
Line Status | The order line status indicates the current status of the inspection line. The status is changed in several sessions: Inspection Order - Lines (qmptc1101m000) (free) Print Inspection Orders (qmptc1400m000) (printed) Sample - Test Data by Characteristic (qmptc1115m000) (active) Sample - Test Data by Serial Number (qmptc1116m000) (active) Complete and Process Inspection Orders (qmptc1202m000) (completed)
Sample | A small quantity that is drawn from the total (order) quantity and which represents the order quantity's quality.
Aspect | A part of an item. For example, a bolt can have the aspects head and tail. An aspect can have one or more characteristics. For example, a head can have a diameter and a length, and a tail can have a diameter and a color.
Line | The position in the BOM at which point a certain quality inspection is to take place.
Characteristic | A reference to a particular quality or distinctive mark of an item or an item part/component. For example, diameter, length, weight.
Characteristic Type | The type of value that is measured.
Serial Number | An identification number that ERP LN generates to distinguish between the different measurements you can carry out in one sample quantity. The number of measurements is based on the test quantity. Example
Sample quantity | 100 pieces
Test quantity | 20 pieces
Explanation: You need to do 5 tests on 20 pieces to get a sample quantity of 100 pieces (100/20=5). Consequently, 5 test lines will be generated, with each with a unique serial number. Note The total number of serial numbers cannot exceed the value of the sample quantity divided by the test quantity
Test Date | The date on which the test takes place. The default date is the current date.
Test Unit | The unit that applies to the test. For example, meter, liter, or kilogram.. Note The characteristic unit is the default value. The test unit and the characteristic unit must have the same physical quantity.
Measurement Value | The result of the test. Enter a numeric value if you select Quantitative in the Result Type field, and if the Characteristic Type field is not set to Option. If an algorithm is specified for the inspection order line, the algorithm calculates the numeric value. Note You cannot modify the test result.
Option Set | A group of possible values of a characteristic. For each value (option) you can indicate whether it is acceptable or not. The options blue and red form an option set Example
Characteristic | pH value
Test | Litmus test
Options | blue = acceptable
red = not acceptable
Note You can enter an option set if the Characteristic Type field is on Option.
Option | The option that was found. Note Depending on what you enter in the Option Type field in the Option Set - Options (qmptc0114m000) session, the option is either Acceptable or Not Acceptable.
Result | The result of the inspection Note ERP LN automatically generates a value in this field, depending on the quality limits you define in the Quality ID - Characteristics (qmptc0115m000) session and/or in the Option Set - Options (qmptc0114m000) session.
Test Area | The physical location where tests take place.
Employee | The employee who executed the test for this characteristic.
Instrument | The default instrument to measure the characteristic.
Overall Result | The overall result of the inspection, by order, sample, or serial number. Note The value of this field is automatically generated by ERP LN, depending on the quality limits you define in the Quality ID - Characteristics (qmptc0115m000) session and/or in the Option Set - Options (qmptc0114m000) session. Title not found
Item | In ERP 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)
Commands | Description
Evaluate Algorithm | When you select Create Test Data Lines, no test lines are created for algorithm characteristics. When you select Evaluate Algorithm, the value of the algorithm characteristic will be calculated, based on the data of other characteristics. You cannot modify the calculated results. You can only apply this option to orders with status Active.
Item Drawing | If drawings are present, you can use this button to display how a item does look like.
Toggle Status Active/Complete | When you select Toggle Status Active/Complete in the Application menu, you switch between line status Active and line status Completed. If this option is used for an algorithm characteristic, the status of the lines of the variables (characteristics) will also change to Completed. Conditions: The total quantity of samples is equal to the sample size The inspection data is entered for all samples defined for this order line The status of an inspection order line can only change back to Active if the inspection status is not yet Completed.
Create Test Data Lines | When you select Create Test Data Lines in the Application menu, test data are generated based on the test quantity (see the Inspection Order - Samples (qmptc1110m000) session). Example
Sample quantity | 100 pieces
Test quantity | 20 pieces
Explanation: You need to do 5 tests on 20 pieces to get a sample quantity of 100 pieces (100/20=5). Consequently, 5 test lines will be generated.
