In this step, you can:

  • Define how a decision is made to accept or reject inspection characteristics (valuation mode). These decisions are used in the sampling procedure.
  • Integrate your own function modules that allow you to make the decision whether to accept or reject inspection characteristics.

You must decide which one of the basic forms you want to use. These forms are as follows:

  • Manual decision
    This is required for attributive characteristics (that is, characteristics for which no values are recorded). These are characteristics you simply accept or reject. This type of decision is also used in all other cases, where an automatic valuation is not possible or allowed.
  • Code valuation: a decision on the basis of qualitative attributes.
    The decisions are stored in the catalog for characteristic attributes.
  • A decision based on a sampling plan for discrete characteristics (attributive inspection) with the following options:
    • Number of defects
    • Number of nonconforming units
    • This decision can also be used in conjunction with tolerance specifications for the measured values of quantitative characteristics.
  • A decision based on a sampling plan for quantitative characteristics (variable inspection) with the following options:
    • Complying with the distribution limits of the characteristic values (s-method)
    • Complying with the mean value limits of characteristic values (checking the tolerance specifications)
      This is a special application of the s-method, where k = 0.
  • A decision based on a control chart.

You can assign suitable, different valuation rules to these basic forms and thereby define different valuation modes, such as:

Simple valuation

  • Manual valuation
  • Code valuation. This valuation is based on the attributes of qualitative characteristics
  • Valuation based on the number of defects
  • Valuation based on the number of nonconforming units
  • Valuation for the mean value of quantitative characteristics, based on the tolerance specifications

Valuation modes for procedures using sampling schemes:

  • Valuation according to sampling plan for:
    • Attribute inspection, for discrete characteristics (in accordance with ISO 2859)
    • Variable inspection, for continuous characteristics (in accordance with ISO 3951)
    • The system supports a single-sided and double-sided s-method.

Valuation based on the limits of a control chart

Valuation modes for procedures using independent multiple samples:

  • Valuation according to the:
    • Worst case principle
    • Last case principle
    • Best case principle

The valuation modes for procedures with independent multiple samples are suitable for the valuation of characteristics in:

  • Inspections during production with inspection points
  • Inspection of partial lots
  • Inspection of physical samples
  • Inspection of maintenance objects

Standard settings

In the standard system, the table of valuation rules is designed so that all commonly used valuation modes are supported at characteristic level.

The tables have the delivery class G. The following name range is reserved for the user:

  • Valuation mode 9*, A*, ... Z*
  • Valuation mode 9*, A*, ... Z*

SAP Recommendation

Use the valuation modes contained in the standard system.
Do not delete any of the valuation modes contained in the standard system; instead, you can lock the entries you do not need.

Do not delete any of the valuation rules contained in the standard system and under no circumstances delete valuation rules A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, since these were used for programming.

You only need to maintain your own valuation rules in special cases.

Activities

  1. Determine whether additional or other valuation modes are used in your company. If necessary, you must also define and program appropriate valuation rules for these valuation modes.
  2. Determine whether you need additional or other valuation rules. Define these rules only if required.
    1. Substitute the function modules
    2. Program your own function modules.
    3. Enter the valuation rules in the relevant valuation modes.

Additional Information

Valuation Levels

The valuation of an inspection characteristic is usually made up of several steps that take place at the following levels:

  • Valuation of original values or value classes
    In summarized results recording original values or value classes are not valuated.
  • Valuation of samples
    If the system does not allow for multiple samples, there is no valuation at sample level
  • Valuation of a characteristic

The valuation rules mentioned above are active at characteristic or sample level. At original value, or value class level, the valuation rules that are dependent on the control key for the characteristic are fixed automatically by the system:

  • Manual valuation
  • Code valuation for qualitative characteristics with characteristic attributes
  • Valuation based on tolerance specifications for quantitative characteristics

Definition of Valuation Rules

The valuation rule is usually defined in the valuation mode and is included in this way in the sampling procedure.
There are two valuation rules for inspecting independent multiple samples; one for characteristic-based decisions for individual samples and one for characteristic-based decisions for all samples. The valuation rule that links the decisions relating to the individual samples to a collective decision for the characteristic is stored directly in the sampling procedure, together with the valuation mode for the samples.

For inspections with partial lots and inspections with inspection points, for example, inspections during production, inspection of physical samples or inspection of maintenance objects (equipment or functional locations), two valuation rules are also required. In these cases, the combining valuation rule is not stored in the sampling procedure, but taken directly from this table.
If you want to change the collective valuation, you must substitute or change the function module contained in the following valuation rules:

  • A1 Manual valuation
  • A2 Inspection with partial lots
  • A3 Inspection with inspection points
  • A4 Inspection of physical samples
  • A5 Inspection of equipment or functional locations
