Task 2: Create a quantitative master inspection characteristic
You use qualitative and quantitative master inspection characteristics according to requirements and operational area. You create a qualitative master inspection characteristic here to use later in inspection planning.
1. You also use the master inspection characteristics to inspect the weight.
Create a quantitative master inspection characteristic with the identifier MK02-## in plant 1000 and the short text Weight. Enter Group ## in the search field to find the master inspection characteristic. This characteristic should be used in task lists and material specifications and if necessary, it should be changed to suit the material. In this case, use the Complete copy model.
A sampling procedure should be used to determine the respective inspection scope. The weight of the goods must always be known. Therefore, this characteristic must always be inspected. You must confirm single results during results recording. The number of units inspected during results recording must correspond to the planned number of units to be inspected.
If the characteristic is not accepted during the inspection, you may want to record additional information for this characteristic. If you change the recorded inspection results later, you must create change documents. You should be able to assign test equipment in a task list (for example, inspection plan, routing, ..). The characteristic should only be printed on the inspection instruction, if no skip exists for the characteristic.
The weight should be 1.0 kg. A deviation of 0.1 kg below and 0.1 kg above this value is allowed. You do not need a tolerance key.

Solution 5: Master Inspection Characteristics
Task 1: Create a qualitative master inspection characteristic
You use qualitative and quantitative master inspection characteristics according to requirements and operational area. You create a qualitative master inspection characteristic here to use later in inspection planning.
1. You need a qualitative master inspection characteristic for the inspection of packaging materials. For plant 1000, create this master inspection characteristic with the identifier MK01-## and the short text Packaging.
Enter Group ## in the search field to find the master inspection characteristic.
The characteristic should be referenced in task lists and material specifications.
A sampling procedure should be used to determine the respective inspection scope. It is very important that the correct packaging material is always used.
Therefore, this characteristic must always be inspected. Summarized results recording should be used. If the characteristic is not accepted during the inspection, you may want to record additional information about the errors that occurred for this characteristic. To evaluate these recorded errors later, it is important that you use corresponding error codes when recording them.
The number of units inspected during results recording must correspond to the planned number of units to be inspected. Additional documentation is not required during results confirmation. The characteristic should only be printed on the inspection instruction, if no skip exists for the characteristic.
Make a note of the settings for the characteristic control indicators:

Hint: When you have edited the first screen of control indicators, the second screen appears when you choose the Return key.
Hint: If errors are detected during the inspection, you should choose the error codes manually. Therefore, you do not have to assign error codes to the master inspection characteristic.
Confirm your info messages by choosing ENTER.
After you have edited the control indicators, the general data for the master inspection characteristic appears again.
