Prerequisite
- Access the menu Registration > Receiving Inspection Form (IP003).
Presentation
In the receiving inspection form registration menu (IP003), it is possible to configure how inspections will be carried out for a given item, ensuring standardization and traceability in the process.
Among these parameter settings, the feature-based configuration allows you to customize the sampling rule according to the nature of the inspected object, considering factors such as cost and availability.
In this article, we will continue with the example already used with steel bars supplied by an external partner. In this scenario, each characteristic can adopt its own sampling rule, ensuring greater flexibility and precision in the execution of inspections.
Configuring characteristics
1. Access the menu Registration > Receiving Inspection Form (IP003).
2. In the inspection form, access the Default Configuration or Form Configuration tab , depending on the type of object.
3. In the tab, locate the Characteristic section.
4. Include or select the characteristics to be inspected. To do this, use the button 
to add new records or the button 
to modify those already registered.
5. In the data window that appears, select a characteristic in the Characteristic field. To learn more about registering and associating characteristics, click here.
Important : Only the characteristics linked to the inspection sheet object (item, input, process, or process activity) will be displayed. For them to be configurable, they must be previously registered in the object.
6. Check the Include the product characteristic in the inspection report? option so that the feature is added to the inspection report.
7. In the Sampling Rule tab, fill in the required fields according to the sampling rules defined for each characteristic.
8. In the Warning tab, you can configure alert messages for inspection in case of special features. The configured warning will be displayed during the feature inspection step.
9. Save the information to complete the setup .
The recorded information can only be saved after filling in the required fields in the General and Form Configuration/Default Inspection Form Configuration tabs .
The settings for the other tabs and sections of the inspection form not covered in this article are documented in supplementary content. For more details, please see the links below:
Conclusion
Using individual configurations per feature provides greater control over the quality criteria defined by the organization. Thus, when registering a receipt associated with the inspection sheet, the configured rules are automatically applied to each feature, maintaining the consistency and reliability of the inspection process.
