How To : Setup a Measurement Template
With Measurement Templates you specify how an item is inspected by setting additional fields that are captured through a Measurement Connection, the sample method as well as the sampling size and the question set.
The measurement template determines how a measurement is created when triggered from an Incident. In the Incident the measurement template is retrieved from the item measurement template.
- Choose the
icon (Alt+Q) - Type Measurement Templates in the search box
- A template requires the following fields to be completed:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| General fast-tab | |
| Code | Specify the measurement template code. |
| Description | Specify the measurement description code. |
| Table No. | Specify the source table for this template. For more information refer to How To : Create an Incident Mapping |
| Inspection Type | Select one of 4 options: |
| Blank = do nothing; | |
| Auto pass = only capture additional data in user defined fields; | |
| Paper = complete a checksheet; | |
| Inspect = inspect a sample with a checksheet | |
| Sample Method | The sample method has 5 options: |
| Blank = no sample | |
| Fixed = A fixed quantity (sample factor), independent of the received quantity | |
| Percentage = A percentage (sample factor), of the received quantity | |
| AQL = Acceptable quality level method to be set in the inspection level and quality level fields. | |
| Zero Defects = A variation of the AQL method with smaller sample sizes allowing 0 defects | |
| Sample Factor | This field will only be editable when the sample method Fixed or Percentage is selected. Use this field to respectively set a fixed quantity or a percentage of the transaction. |
| Inspection Level (AQL) | This field will only be editable when the sample method AQL or ZeroDefects is selected. Use this field to specify the inspection level for the AQL method. |
| AQL: I, II, III, S1, S2, S3, S4 | |
| Zero Defects: I, II, III, S3, S4 | |
| Quality Level (AQL) | This field will only be editable when the sample method AQL or ZeroDefects is selected. Use this field to specify the quality level for the AQL method. |
| AQL: 1; 1,5; 2,5; 4; 6,5 | |
| Zero Defects: 1; 1,5; 2,5; 4; 6,5 | |
| Question Set | Specify the question set. The questions set sets the questions and answers for the check sheet. |
| Check sheet Creation | Use this field to specify the check sheet creation. The check sheet creation field determines if how a check sheet is created: |
| Blank = For the complete quantity received | |
| Per Lot/Serial No. = The check sheet is created per lot no. or per serial no., the sample method is also applied per lot | |
| Per Serial No. = One check sheet for all serial numbers will be created with the serial number included in the sample number. | |
| First Lot/Serial Approval | When checked the user will be prompted, after clicking Complete, with the question: "Do you want to Apply same test results to remaining Lots/Serials in this shipment". When confirmed the results of the current check sheet will be copied to the remaining check sheets in the same measurement. |
| Default Due Date Formula | The time allowed to complete a check sheet (overrides the setting in the Quality Management Setup). |
| Recurring check sheet | When checked the user will be prompted, after clicking complete, with the question: "Do you want to Create next Check Sheet". When confirmed a next check sheet (re-test) will be created to be completed by the user. |
| Log Interaction | An Interaction Log Entry is created with the description "Incident Creation for item ..". This means that per customer/vendor contact a history record is created recording the incident. |
| Print Check sheet | The check sheet is printed on the default printer. |
| Status | The measurement template has 4 possible status codes: |
| New = initial status when a new template is created | |
| Under Development = the measurement template is being edited | |
| Certified = the measurement template is in use and locked for editing, when setting the status a number of validations are done to check the template setup | |
| Closed = the measurement template is no longer in use and closed. | |
| Conditions | If necessary you can set an additional condition on the table selected in the template. For example on a production order you can select the "Status" field and specify "3" to filter on Released production orders only. |
| Field | Select a field in the Field Name column, the Field Caption is retrieved from the table |
| Default Value | Specify the value for the condition |
| User Defined Fields | The incident captures the source fields from the specified table |
| UDF 1..10 | Select the fields that you want to capture in addition to the source fields like document no. date, etc. |
| Rating | Check sheet rating is calculated as a weighted average based on a weight value per question and a score value per answer. |
| From | Set the From values in the columns Good, Average or Bad. |
| To | Set the To values in the columns Good, Average or Bad. |
