Inspection plan - Operation inactive till other is finished

[Former Member]

Hi,

Let's assume I have an inspection plan and want to assure that one operation is finished before the other becomes active. Is there a way to do this? If the answer is yes, how do I do that?

To talk about an example, please see the picture attached. In this case operation 0020 should not be active before operation 0010 is finished.

Hope someone can help!

Kind regards

Michael

You mean you want unless complete result recording is done for 1st operation in QA32, the 2nd operation should not be opened for entering results? Is that the requirement? Or it is at the time of inspection plan creation you are expecting?

Hi Anand,

Yeah, exactly. As your first suggestion says, the second operation should not be open till after the complete result recording is done for the first operation.

Hi Michael

I am not sure that it will work

but I can provide some input from my side.

Please check this configuration

SPRO-->Quality Management -->Quality Inspection -->Result Recording --> Make Settings for Operation Completion.

Please check against the required plant.

Hi,

Double click on the operation and see the "overlapping" section. You can define whether operations can be overlapped or not, or with timings / other conditions.

Thanks

I don't think you'll find that functionality works in inspection plans event though it is shown in the operation overview.

All our plans are set up with no overlapping yet I've never seen it affect inspection.

It might work in receipes or routings for 03 inspection lots, but I don't actually think results recording is affected.  Only confirmation of the operation.

I think you might look at the following user exits to produce an error message and block entry to results recording:

QEEM0029  User-Exit for Characteristic Overview Subscreen

QEEM0030  User-Exit for Subscreen: Characteristic Single Screen

QM also allows a UD at the operation level.  You could implement that.

QM-->Quality Inspection--->Results Recording-->Make Settings for Operation Completion

Once you implemented that you'd have to try to see if you can use one of the above mentioned user exits to check if the UD was done on the previous operation.  If not, an error message and exit from results recording.

Hi Prem, hi Craig,

Thank you very much for your suggestions. Using the "overlapping", as you suggest Prem, would be to good to be true. But as Craig said, I am also not sure this will work judging by the documentation of this feature. Nevertheless I will give it a try.

However, your suggestion Craig, sounds very promising. On the other hand it involves programming which I am not too keen on, if there is another solution (read atm: overlapping works).

Will let you know about my progress.

Kind regards

Michael
