Inspection methods for materials

If the QM Implemented Material (BOM) check box in the Quality Management Parameters (qmptc0100m000) session is selected, you can use Quality to check the materials for production orders.

You can define the quality requirements for each material.

If you select the Material (BOM) check box in the Quality Management Parameters (qmptc0100m000) session, you can open the Order Specific Test Procedures (qmptc0149m000) session from the Estimated Materials (ticst0101m000) session.

Possible scenarios to implement quality for the materials:

• The materials are inspected, but the inspection orders have no impact on the production orders (method A).
• You must inspect the materials, before you can issue them for a production order (method B).

The Blocking Method for Inspections field in the Order Inspections (qmptc1120m000) session determines method that you can use.

LN uses method A, if the Blocking Method for Inspections field has the value Continue.

LN uses method B, if the Blocking Method for Inspections field has the value Block.

LN determines the value of these fields on the basis of the data you enter in the following sessions:

• Testing Combinations (qmptc0119m000)
• Order Specific Test Procedures (qmptc0149m000)
