Summarized vs Single Results Recording for Inspection Points

[cristin_charbonneau]

Good morning.

Is there any great benefit one way or the other between using Summarized vs Single Results recording for a master inspection characteritics to be used with free inspection points where the sample will be 1.

Thanks in advance,

If you go to plant level setting

you will find

Sample n=1: Recording of Summarized Statistics

Means that the results recording will always be summarized if n = 1 (for example when inspecting one unit or 1 ml).

simply this has relevance with what you have said. Means "when its single result recording & sample size is 1 then its considered as "summarized " -->If you make above settings.

Lets not get into thing whether its beneficial or not ,"I would say its appropriate way" !!

Thank you both.

To clarify, if I am using free inspection points and each point will only ever represent 1 sample I should configure my MIC's control indicator for results confirmation to be summarized recording. There is no value to setting the indicator for single result?

let me put in this way .........even if you select single result recording it will behave as summarize !!

You have to remember what SAP intended individual results for. Usually there is little benefit for individual results. So making the setting as Sujit suggested is usually appropriate.

Using individual results recording causes you to have to make the data entry on a subscreen instead of the main results recording screen. You really don't want that normally. I believe that individual results recording was used for two reasons. One, it predates sample management and inspection points and allowed results for multiple samples. With multiple samples being handled now by other objects like physical samples and inspection points, that need is not there as much.

The other use is where a test requires multiple values to arrive at an average result. A "Total solids" test is an example. Most places do at least two runs of the test on the same sample. If you want the tech to record the values of both runs, you can use individual results recording for that test. They record two values and the average of the two is calculated by SAP and this average is shown in the UD screen and transferred to the batch. With summarized results, the system is expecting the tech to do any necessary averaging and to record in SAP only the one, summarized value.

Thank you (to all of you)!

That is exactly the explanation I was looking for.

Good morning,

i have the following situation:

4 Master inspection characteristics with single results recording for inspection points with also calculation with formula. So, for example, MIC A = (B - C) / D.

The system, calculating the value of MIC A, takes into consideration the average value of n measures for each inspection point of MICs B, C and D. So, for each inspection point, the system calculates value o A in the following way:

A = (B Average Value - C Average Value) / D Average Value.

In yuor opinion it will be possible to have the value of MIC A calculated for each measure of the inspection point and not only for the average value of the inspection point? I think that the standard system does not support that functionality, and it is necessary a custom report, but i don't know if there's some Function module or Bapi that could make easier this kind of calcutation.

Thanks in advance.

Single result recording is lot of data entry in QE51. But helps later in data analysis.
