Testing Combinations

Use this session to define quality combinations which, generally speaking, consist of three parts:

  • The module from which inspections originate
  • The item or quality group that applies to the combination.
  • The quality ID that applies to the combination.

A single quality ID can be used for more than one quality combination.

Note

For an algorithm, all the characteristics representing the variables of the algorithm must be put in the same test group as the algorithm, otherwise the algorithm will not be generated for a quality ID.

The validate standard test procedure option also validates:

  • Whether the item is serialized.
  • Whether any item in the quality group is serialized.

If the above mentioned conditions are met, ERPLN checks whether the associated Standard Test Procedure test quantity is greater than 1. If the item or any item in the test group is associated with a test quantity of greater than 1, ERPLN prompts the user with this warning message:

  • Item (Item code) is serialized and the Test Quantity is greater than one. Test data will be applied to all the serialized items in the test quantity.

 

Origin

An integrated module or package to which an (inspection) order is related.

Quality inspections are executed within a module or package. This field is used to select one of the implemented modules or packages of LN.

Allowed values

Origin of Inspection

Note

You can maintain the implemented modules and packages in the Quality Management Parameters (qmptc0100m000) session.

Combination Settings
Quality Group

A group of items with similar quality characteristics. The data defined for the quality group are used as defaults for all items of that quality group.

Quality Group

The Quality Group and all the items in it, for which a certain quality inspection is desired.

Item

In 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.

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. The following are examples of nonphysical items:

  • Cost items (for example, electricity)
  • Service items
  • Subcontracting services
  • List items (menus/options)
Note
  • Standard items are expressed in an item code.
  • Segmented items consist of a project code segment and an item base segment (the item code of the customized item). The segments that an item can consist of are defined in the Item Code Segmentation (tcibd0500m000) session.
Note

The quality combination of the item (defined in this session) overrules the quality combination of the quality group to which the item belongs.

Item Description

Displays the Item description.

Business Partner

Displays the Business Partner's name and ID.

E-Item Revision

The version or revised version of an engineering item (E-item) or a revision-controlled item. Several revisions of an E-item can exist.

Note

Note: LN allows you to define sampling rules and testing combinations for specified E-Item Revision.

Description

The description or name of the code.

Order Specific Test Procedure

If this check box is selected, you can execute the standard test procedure for a specified testing combination.

Effectivity Unit

The code that is linked to an end item for identification, and which can represent the deviation(s) from the standard end item. You can link an effectivity unit to manufactured items and purchased items.

Note

LN allows you to define sampling rules and testing combinations for specified Effectivity Unit.

Inspection Settings
QM Only Recommends

This field is used to indicate what can be done with the inspection results. If this check box is selected, the inspection results are a recommendation for the user; the user can overwrite these results. If this check box is cleared, the inspection results are mandatory; the user cannot overwrite these results. In this case you cannot use destructive tests.

Note

This field overrules the value of the QM OnlyRecommends field in the Quality Management Parameters (qmptc0100m000) session.

Blocking Method for Inspections

The blocking method refers to the way in which production, purchase, or sales is stopped or controlled to do inspections.

Note

If the QM Only Recommends check box is cleared, this field cannot be used.

Standard Test Procedure

The code of the standard test procedure that must be maintained.

Description

The description or name of the code.

Text
Text

Displays text related to quality combinations.

Routing

The routing combination to determine if inspection is required. Routing is specified only if inspection of the item is mandatory.

Routing

The description or name of the code.

Operation

The routing operation. Operation is specified only if inspection of the item is mandatory.

Task

The task which is executed during the operation.

Task

If there is only one task for this operation, you cannot enter a value in this field.

From Warehouse

The warehouse from which the item is transferred.

To Warehouse

The warehouse to which the item is transferred.

Sub-Item Description

Displays the sub-item description.

Conformance Reporting

If this check box is selected, conformance reporting field in the inspection order is enabled. The inspection order created is used for document checking.

Note

If this check box is selected, specifying the standard test procedure is optional.

Inspection by Serials

If this check box is selected, inspection for serialized items (for In and Not In Inventory) is performed by serials with Routing origin. If this check box is selected, inspection for serialized items is performed anonymously.

Note

This field is only enabled for Routing origin and if the QM Only Recommends field is not selected.
