      <Paragraph>In the Master Data you can enter data such as:</Paragraph>
      <List>
         <ListItem>The characteristic that will be inspected on a product</ListItem>
         <ListItem>The location where a product is inspected</ListItem>
         <ListItem>The effect the inspection will have on the product to be
		  inspected</ListItem>
      </List>
      <Paragraph>You can define a characteristic as an
		algorithm, which results in a calculated inspection result instead of a
		measured result. You can define algorithms in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/qm/ptc/qmptc0123m000" role="session">Algorithm Variables (qmptc0123m000)</GUIRef> session, in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/qm/ptc/qmptc0121m000" role="session">Algorithms (qmptc0121m000)</GUIRef> session, and in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/qm/ptc/qmptc0122m000" role="session">Algorithm - Variables (qmptc0122m000)</GUIRef> session.</Paragraph>
      <ProcedureList>
         <ListIntro>The general Master Data set up procedure is:</ListIntro>
         <ListItem>Define the test(s) you use to measure the characteristic in
		  the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/qm/ptc/qmptc0106m000" role="session">Tests (qmptc0106m000)</GUIRef> session.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>Define the characteristic(s) of a product in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/qm/ptc/qmptc0101m000" role="session">Characteristics (qmptc0101m000)</GUIRef> session.</ListItem>

      </ProcedureList>
      <Paragraph>The other sessions in Master Data you must use
		depends on how you set certain fields in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/qm/ptc/qmptc0101m000" role="session">Characteristics (qmptc0101m000)</GUIRef> session:</Paragraph>
      <List>
         <ListItem>If you enter <GUIRef href="/baanerp/qm/domains/ptc.ctyp#option" role="option">Option</GUIRef> in the <GUIRef href="qmptc001.ctyp" role="tablefield">Characteristic Type</GUIRef> field, use the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/qm/ptc/qmptc0113m000" role="session">Option Sets (qmptc0113m000)</GUIRef> session and the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/qm/ptc/qmptc0114m000" role="session">Option Set - Options (qmptc0114m000)</GUIRef> sessions.</ListItem>
