In this process step, you can define the nomenclature and the corresponding coding masks used for the audit.

Coding masks simplify the display of complex keys (numbers) for audit components. Identifying numbers can be made easier to read by adding separators, for example, hyphens or blank characters. In this process step, you use masks to define how the numbers of audit components are to be structured with separators. One mask consists of several sections that are defined individually. Each of these sections begins with a separator.

In the audit management transaction, you can enter your identifying numbers without separators. The system then inserts the separators based on the mask that you have defined.

Using coding masks, the system can derive the number of a new, subordinate audit component from the number of the superordinate element.

This function is only supported for question list items and question list items for the audit.

Example

Mask definition: (0 = numeric, X = alphanumeric)

Key    1. Sec.    2. Sec.    3. Sec.    4. Section

AUD    .000    /XX    .00    -XXXX

Entry and formatting in audit management:

Entry: AUD487AB99ZUVB    Formatting: AUD.487/AB.99-ZUVB

Requirements

Standard settings

Recommendation

Activities

  1. First, define a key and an explanatory short text for the mask.
  2. Decide whether or not you want the numbers of audit components to be automatically derived from numbers of superior elements.

Further notes

Maintain the individual sections of the mask as follows:

  1. Select New Entries.
  2. Enter the key of the mask and a short text.
  3. Select the position of the first section that you want to define.
  4. Define a separator.
  5. Define the length of the section.
  6. Decide whether the section is to contain numeric or alphanumeric characters.
  7. Repeat steps c) to f), until you have defined all the sections of the mask.
