Inspection Order - Lines (qmptc0151m000)

Use this session to display or maintain order-specific inspection data lines. For each characteristic or aspect/characteristic combination, an inspection line is available. The data related to this characteristic can be changed for this specific order.

 

Sequence
The sequence number of the order. For each sequence, one or more samples are drawn to test the characteristics.
Line
The number that identifies the inspection order line.
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
The unit in which an item's characteristic is expressed, for example, meters, kilograms.
Note

If you selected Fraction or Integer in the Characteristic Type field, you must fill in the Characteristic Unit field. If you selected Option, the Characteristic Unit field will become blank.

Characteristic for Algorithm
If this check box is selected, this characteristic is used as a variable or 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
CharacteristicpH value
TestLitmus test
Optionsblue = 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 only enter data in the Algorithm field, if you entered Algorithm in the Method field. Enter the name of the algorithm that is used to calculate the characteristic.

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.

If this check box is cleared, the test is not destructive and the item can 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 Sequence
The test sequence specifies the sequence in which the characteristics in a test group are tested. If the value of the Test Sequence field is zero, the sequence of this aspect/characteristic is not important for testing. An aspect/characteristic with a zero test sequence value will be tested after all other tests have taken place.

Example

Destructive Test Test Sequence
Test 1No1
Test 2Yes2

 

Explanation: The destructive test will take place last.

Note

The sequence number can be the same for more than one characteristic. When this is the case, the tests will be sorted by aspect/characteristic, unless the test sequence number is zero.

Test Standard
The standard normally used for the test.

For example, a DIN standard

Skill
The specific know-how or technical expertise that an employee 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
Instrumentacidimeter
CharacteristicpH value

 

Instrument Group
The code of the instrument group. The group of instruments with similar characteristics.
Description
The description or name of the code.
Instrument Number
The number of the instrument that can be used to trace the instrument.
Description
The description or name of the code.
Fixed Characteristic Value
A characteristic value that is determined once, and which is compared to the test results entered in the Sample - Test Data by Characteristic (qmptc1115m000) session.
Note

This field only applies if the Method field is set to Fixed.

Characteristic Standard
The standard normally used for characteristics. This is an informative field.

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.

Upper Limit
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
The lowest characteristic value, expressed in the characteristic unit for which the quality is acceptable.
Note

The Lower Limit field must be less than or equal to the value in the Norm field.

Origin
An integrated module or package to which an (inspection) order is related.
Position
The number of the order line to which the inspection order applies. This can be the position of the sales order line, the position of the purchase order line, or the position of the estimated materials.
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.

A quality inspection must take place, during or after this operation.

 

Validate Algorithm
Checks the validity of the order specific algorithm data.
