Purpose
Master Inspection characteristic describes the inspection criteria for materials, parts,
and products. You can create master inspection characteristics at the plant level to simplify
and standardize the inspection planning activities and to standardize the nomenclature.
Definition
An inspection characteristic is created as a master record. This characteristic is intended for
frequent use in inspection plans or for evaluation purposes across all inspection plans. Master
inspection characteristics are language-independent.
Use
You use master inspection characteristics in inspection plans, material specifications, and
certificate profiles to simplify and standardize data entry.

Double click on the Transaction Code QS21 and following screen will appear.
The general data screen for the master inspection characteristic appears.
3. When creating a master inspection characteristic, define the characteristic type quantitative

in Customizing.

Description
To make it easier for you to define the control indicators for an inspection
characteristic, you can define a predefined combination of control
indicators in Customizing. You can then use indicators in an inspection
plan or master inspection characteristic.
If you set this indicator, it causes the characteristic to be treated as a
quantitative characteristic. You thereby define the control indicators that
are relevant for the inspection characteristic. A quantitative characteristic
is subject to measurement inspections. You can define tolerance limits and
a target value for a quantitative characteristic.

4. Enter a short text, a long text, if required, and a search field, set the necessary status, and
choose the Control indicators.
The system displays different dialog boxes for editing the control indicators for the master
inspection characteristic, depending on the characteristic type that you have previously defined.

data records.
Effects
If you create a master record, the system proposes the status "Being
created" You can, however, change this status. You cannot use master
records with this status.
Released
Before you can create a reference to the master record, you must release
it by setting the status to "Released".

used
Deletion flag
To delete a master record during the next archiving run, you need to set
the status to Deletion flag. A batch program then checks, if references
exist to the master record. In addition, it also checks the actual usage and
not the usage indicator.
If no references exist to the master record, it is deleted. If however, a
reference exists, the master record can only be deleted, if the reference
has first been deleted.
You can only delete a master record online, if no reference exists to it (the
usage indicator is not set).

If you set this indicator, you must enter a lower specification limit

If you set this indicator and either the "Upper specification limit"
or "Lower specification limit" indicator, the system checks
whether the target value lies within the tolerance.

You must then enter an SPC criterion and a sampling procedure

Additive sample
If you set this indicator, in sample calculation, causes the size of
the partial sample to be increased by the quantity required for
this characteristic.

You set this indicator for inspection characteristics whose

Note:
If the indicator for the sampling procedure is not set in the master inspection characteristic,
the system uses the sampling procedure predefined in Customizing at plant level. If a sampling
procedure is not predefined at this level, the characteristic is subject to a 100% inspection.

If you change a master inspection characteristic that is referenced in a task list and you have
made this change without history, the change is also included in the task list, since the system
does not create a new master inspection characteristic version in the change procedure.
