MIC as Reference characteristic upper and lower limits.

[Former Member]

Hello QM gurus,

We have a requirement to pass the inspection results to batch characteristics. So we are planning to link batch characteristics to MIC as reference charcteristic. But this locks down the upper and lower limits in the inspection plan. The upper and lower limits are different in inspection plans are different across the plants for materials for the same characteristics. Could you suggest any solution to this situation so that we dont have to create same MIC's for each material multiple times just to accomodate different specs across plants?

Thanks in advance.

In Inspection Plan, select the MIC and unlock it. Now you will be able to change the USL and LSL for that particular Material. This doesn't change MIC as such.

Hello Mr. Nayak,

Thanks for your quick reply. But if we unlock the characteristic then wouldn't the link between the MIC and characterisitic is broken and you can't transfer results from MIC to Batch characteristics. Could you please confirm? Also if that's the case then how to resolve this?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Muthun,

You can change the limits in the inspection plan as you did.

Now you want to transfer the results to the batch characteristics and for you have to do one configuration setting the Plant level.

GO TO < Plant dependent QM setting> in SPRO

select the Plant click details

GO TO <InspLot completion> TAB

Batch valuation

Check the box for Batch valuation without material specification.

With this setting your problem will solve.
