Procedure

  1. Access Plant Applications Administrator.
  2. Create a production event sub-type named Receiver.
  3. Create a user-defined event sub-type named Inspection Sample. Select the Require Selection Of Event Duration check box when you so do.
    Note: The name of the event sub-type is case-sensitive, and must be Inspection Sample only.
  4. Create the following statuses for receivers:
    • Accept
    • DIT
    • MRB/NCR
    • OPEN
    • RTV
    • Scrap
    • Unassigned
    • Receiver Complete
    • Open
  5. Create an engineering record for every unit of measurement (UOM) associated with the material lots that you want to inspect.
  6. Create a new production event sub-type named Received Material Lot-<UOM> for every UOM that you have created. Configure these new event sub-types to use the appropriate UOM. Ensure that the name of the receiver UOM matches the UOM selected from the list. If the UOM is not listed, add it.
  7. Create a product family named Receiving and Inspection.
    Note: If there are no products in the system, create at least one serialized and one non-serialized product.
  8. Create a product property named Receiving and Inspection, and configure it to create the characteristics on the Receiving and Inspection product family.
  9. Create a characteristic for every material that you want to inspect using the Receiving Inspection product property.
    A product for the characteristic will be created.
  10. Make sure that every inspected material under the Receiving and Inspection family has the default characteristic for the Receiving Inspection product property set to a characteristic that matches the product code.
  11. Create the following specification variables under the Receiving and Inspection product property:
    Specification Data Type Description
    Auto Complete Logical If set to true, the sampling engine will not create any tests, and you can access Inspection Results to complete material lots.
    TCR-Critical Criteria String The name of the variable group the sampling engine will use to generate tests marked as critical.
    TCR-Part-specific Criteria String The name of the variable group the sampling engine will use to generate tests marked as part-specific.
    TCR-Common Criteria String The name of the variable group the sampling engine will use to generate tests marked as common.
    %Samples to test (for non-serialized products) Float The percentage of lot quantity to be tested. For example, if the value is 10%, and the received material lot has 50 lots, then five samples will be generated.
  12. Enter the target specifications for all characteristics for the specification variables that you have created.
