Master Inspection characteristics are required to describe the inspection specifications for materials like length, width, viscosity, etc.
We create master inspection characteristics at the plant level to simplify and standardize the inspection planning activities.
It also helps to organize the master inspection characteristics in order to avoid duplicate creation of MIC.
These characteristics can be used in Routings, Master Recipe, Inspection Plan and maintenance task list. We can also create the different versions for the single MIC.
Inspection method and catalog could be attached to inspection characteristics.
There are 2 types of Master Inspection characteristics available in SAP.
* Quantitative
* Quantitative characteristics are used to record the results of the Quantitative inspection.
* Values of inspection can be directly feed to these type of characteristics while performing results recording. Characteristics specification limits like Upper Limit, Lower Limit, and central limits can be defined for each inspection characteristics at master level or while creating an inspection plan.
* Inspection Method can also be attached to inspection characteristics level.
* Qualitative
* Qualitative characteristics are used to record the results of Attribute inspection like “Ok” or “Not ok”.
* Code groups / Selected sets of Catalog type 1 can be used for recording result against Qualitative inspection characteristics. Appropriate inspection method can be attached to inspection characteristics.
