Why custom inspection type?

[Former Member]

Hi Guys,

Why would we need custom inspection type? What criterion should be considered while configuraring custom inspection types?

Can somebody throw a light on this?

There are several reasons. The primary resaons is that for certain functionality can be assigned at the inspection type level. this includes:

1) different plan usages - inspection plans have defined usages. An inspectoin type searches for plans with specific usages. You might want to have different sets of plans for different purposes. An 04 might use plans with usage 05. While a Z04 might use plans with a usage of 03. You might create manual inspection lots with the Z04 and automatic ones with the 04.

2) Copy results functionality is set up by inspection type. In the same plant you might only want to use copy functionality for certain materials, so you set up different inspection type for that.

3) you can set up the default values that are used in the material master for each inspetion type. If you have a situation with vastly different settings, having a second inspection type might help in maintainance.

I'm sure their might be other uses as well that others here can mention.

Adding to above,

Identification - If business using same insp type & origin for diff purpose then then want to give unique name to diff inspection.

Ex. Manual lot creation (Origin 89) for diff activity like; environment testing/ line clear/ shift ready

In this case you can create custom insp type

Z1 - Environment testing

Z2 - Line clear

Z3 - shift ready etc.....

Hope this helps.
