1. Purpose: This document highlights the Calibration process for Test Equipments in SAP PM. 2.

Inclusions in this document: Primarily to highlight the Data objects, Process flow with key emphasis on additional process steps to be performed in Test Equipment Management (Calibration as known in SAP). Test Equipment Management is a PM - QM integration functionality provided in SAP Quality Management module. As QM module is currently not in use within lIuka, this document would stress on aspects of QM which are relevant to the process and would be new to MPA process scope. 3. Exclusions from this document: This document does not get into details of maintenance order processing to a great depth as it is understood that users are adept in the process. Integration points are however detailed wherever relevant. 4. Terminologies and Process:

Master Inspection Characteristics (MIC): Master Inspection Characteristics signifies the characteristics of a material/Test Equipment which will be observed during Inspection and the value of the same Test recorded. For example: In this document wehave considered the Test Equipment as a Pressure Gauge whose key Inspection characteristic (MIC) would be Pressure reading (would include Lower Reading, Upper Reading, Mean Reading if relevant). Master Inspection Characteristics for Test Equipment management should preferably be maintained as master data in SAP to facilitate accurate and seamless Calibration Management process. Inspection type: Inspection type is a term introduced from QM module. It simply refers to the source of Inspection. For example: If the source of Quality inspection is Goods receipt, Inspection type is 01, if it is Production receipt it is 04, for Test Equipment Calibration work it is 14 and so on. For Calibration (Test Equipment Management) scenario, inspection type 14 should be used, as demonstrated in this document. Inspection point: Inspection points are used to identify objects under inspection. For example - Inspection point to identify samples, Inspection point to identity Maintenance objects,freely defined Inspection points and so on. Inspection point 300 is used to identify Equipments for Calibration in Standard SAP system. A configuration snapshot below: Inspection Lotlnspection Lots are generated on a sample based on a specific trigger or manually. In calibration work, Inspection Lot on a Test Equipment (using Fixed sample of quantity 1) would be created when a Calibration work order is released. Inspection Lot No 14xxxxxxxx.. will be generated with Inspection type as 14.
