| Inspection Order Lines (qmptc1101m000) |  |
| Use this session to maintain inspection order lines. For each combination of an aspect and a characteristic, an inspection line is available. The data related to the characteristic can be changed for this specific inspection order. Tabs General Details about the characteristic. Test Data Details about the method of testing. Norms Details about the norm and the limits of the test results. Note You cannot modify a record if the test data of the line already exists. If the order line status is set to Completed no new lines can be added for this origin order. Related topics Standard inspections
Fields | Description
Order | An order used to structure the inspection of products that are purchased, produced, or sold.
Line | The position number on the order to which the inspection order is linked. This can be the position number of the sales order line, the position number of the purchase order line, or the position number in the BOM.
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 (qmptc1115m000) (active) Sample - Test Data by Serial Number (qmptc1116m000) (active) Complete/Process Inspection Orders (qmptc1202m000) (completed)
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.
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.
Characteristic Unit | An expression that is used to compute a characteristic by means of other variables or fixed characteristics. Note You can use the Algorithm field, only if you enter Algorithm in the Method field. Enter the name of the algorithm which will calculate the characteristic.
Characteristic for Algorithm | If this check box is selected, this characteristic can be used as a variable or as a constant in the algorithm of another characteristic.
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.
Method | The type of characteristic value or the way in which the characteristic value is calculated.
Algorithm | An expression that is used to compute a characteristic by means of other variables or fixed characteristics. Note You can use the Algorithm field, only if you enter Algorithm in the Method field. Enter the name of the algorithm which will calculate the characteristic.
Actual Start Date | The date on which the first data is entered for the inspection order line. This date is updated in the Sample Test Data (qmptc1115m000) session and the Sample - Test Data by Serial Number (qmptc1116m000) session, and cannot be modified.
Actual Completion Date | The date on which the inspection is reported as completed. This date is updated in the Complete/Process Inspection Orders (qmptc1202m000) session, and cannot be modified.
Test | An examination or check done on a characteristic. You can link one or more tests to a characteristic.
Test Area | The physical location where tests take place.
Destructive Test | If this check box is selected, the test is destructive and the item cannot be used after testing.
Result Type | The type of result reported to the user.
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.
Test Standard | The standard normally used for the test. For example, a DIN standard.
Skill | The specific know-how or technical expertise that an engineer must have to carry out activities. For example, knowledge of electricity, specific equipment, and so on.
Employee | The person that performs the test on this characteristic.
Instrument | A tool that is used during quality tests to measure particular characteristics of an item. Example
Instrument | acidimeter
Characteristic | pH value
Fixed Characteristic Value | A characteristic value that is determined once. A characteristic value that is determined once. The fixed characteristic value is compared to the test results entered in one of the following sessions: Sample Test Data (qmptc1115m000) Sample - Test Data by Serial Number (qmptc1116m000) Note This field only applies if the Method field is set to Fixed. If the Characteristic Type field is set to Integer, the Fixed Characteristic Value field is rounded off to the nearest integer.
Example
User entry | Rounded value
5 | 11
4 | 10
6 | 11
Characteristic Standard | The standard normally used for characteristics. For example, a DIN standard
Norm | The norm is the desired quality for this characteristic, expressed in the characteristic unit. Note This field does not apply if you enter Fixed in the Method field or Option in the Characteristic Type field.
Norm | The norm is the desired quality for this characteristic, expressed in the characteristic unit. Note This field does not apply if you enter Fixed in the Method field or Option in the Characteristic Type field.
Upper Limit | The physical quantity in which an item or good is managed. For example, a quantity of wood can be expressed as a length by using the unit of one meter, or as a volume by using the unit of one cubic meter.
Upper Limit | Type in the highest characteristic value, expressed in the characteristic unit, for which the quality is acceptable. Note The Upper Limit field must be greater than or equal to the value in the Norm field.
Lower Limit | Type the lowest characteristic value for which quality is acceptable, expressed in the characteristic unit. Note The Lower Limit must be lower than or equal to the value in the Norm field.
Lower Limit | Type in the lowest characteristic value, expressed in the characteristic unit, for which the quality is acceptable. Note The Lower Limit field must be greater than or equal to the value in the Norm field.
Commands | Description
Validate Algorithm | Checks the validity of the order specific algorithm data.
