Inspection Type
Definition
Determines how a material, piece of equipment, or functional location is to be inspected.
Use
When an inspection lot is created, the system uses the
inspection lot origin and active inspection type(s) to determine how the inspection lot will be
processed. Depending on whether the inspection lot is created automatically or manually, the system
determines the inspection type as follows:
When the system creates an inspection lot automatically, it determines the
inspection type automatically. For more information on how the system determines
the inspection type in such cases, see
Inspection Type for Automatically Created Lots.
When you create an inspection lot manually, you must first specify the inspection
lot origin. If more than one inspection type is active for a material in the material
master, the system prompts you to choose an inspection type.
Although the standard system contains a number of predefined inspection
types, you can define additional inspection types to meet your
requirements for inspection lot processing.
Controls associated with the inspection type
In Customizing for Inspection Lot Creation (Maintain inspection lot origins and assign
inspection types), you can define the following controls for each inspection type:
Inspection lot
processing
Assignment of a status profile
Proposal of a QM order type for the inspection type
Proposal of a selected set for the usage decision
Print control
Specifying when inspection instruction will be printed
Specifying when sample-drawing instruction will be printed
Results recording
Specifying the default recording view
Specifying which notification type will be created for activated
defects
Specifying how many notifications will be created for each
inspection lot
Inspection planning
Specifying the task list usage (for example, for goods receipt, production,
and so on)
