Codes from different code groups within the same catalog type can be grouped together in selected sets.
In Customizing for the catalog type, you can make a setting specifying whether the creation of selected sets is allowed.
Codes that are copied to a selected set are called codes of selected sets.
Only selected set codes of catalog type 1 (“characteristic attributes”) can be used for the valuation of a qualitative inspection characteristic in results recording.
Figure 43: Selected Sets and Codes of Selected Sets
When you maintain the complete selected set index, the system blocks other users from accessing that particular catalog type.
Every set code of catalog type 1 must be valuated. If the valuation Rejected is recorded, a defect class must be entered.
The interface for selected sets and set codes is identical to the interface for code groups and codes.

Figure 44: Creating a Selected Set
When you copy a selected set or a set code to the selected set that you are processing, the valuation and defect class (if available) are also copied. You can change the valuation and defect class.
When you have created a selected set, you can assign it to an inspection characteristic.

Copying of code groups with their corresponding codes. You can use the Copy as function to copy existing code groups, codes, selected sets, or set codes. You can use this function to create new code groups within a catalog, new selected sets within a plant, new codes within a code group, and new set codes within a selected set.
As of Release 4.6C, it is possible to edit catalogs (code groups, selected sets) in Customizing. Catalog tables - like all Customizing tables in QM - have an automatic transport link.
As of Release 4.6C, it is possible to distribute code groups and the associated codes from one source system to one or more target systems using ALE. This distribution can take place automatically in the background, or it can be triggered using transaction QL41.
You can also use the note 61049 if you want to transport code groups and codes to all systems and clients.

Exercise 7: Selected Sets and Codes of Selected Sets
Exercise Objectives
After completing this exercise, you will be able to:
• Edit selected sets and codes of selected sets.
Business Example
You want to valuate certain qualitative inspection characteristics using the
characteristic attribute. You define code groups and codes and create suitable selected sets for characteristic valuation, so that you can valuate characteristics in the whole company according to the same specifications.
Task 1:
Creating selected sets and codes in selected sets
1. You can use selected sets to valuate qualitative characteristics. The selected sets contain codes from code groups with a valuation. This means that it is defined in the selected set, whether a certain code is maintained for the acceptance or rejection of the characteristic.
Create selected set AW01-## in plant 1000. The selected set should be used for inspecting the packaging materials for lamps and should contain all codes from code group CG01-##. Also copy all codes from the Other valuation code selected set to selected set AW01-##.
Task 2:
Assignment of the selected set to a master inspection characteristic
1. You want to valuate master inspection characteristic CH01-## using the specifications from selected set AW01-##. To do this, you must change the control indicators for the master inspection characteristic CH01-##.

Solution 7: Selected Sets and Codes of Selected Sets
Task 1:
Creating selected sets and codes in selected sets
1. You can use selected sets to valuate qualitative characteristics. The selected sets contain codes from code groups with a valuation. This means that it is defined in the selected set, whether a certain code is maintained for the acceptance or rejection of the characteristic.
Create selected set AW01-## in plant 1000. The selected set should be used for inspecting the packaging materials for lamps and should contain all codes from code group CG01-##. Also copy all codes from the Other valuation code selected set to selected set AW01-##.
a) Logistics → Quality Management → Quality Planning → Basic Data → Catalog → Selected Set → Edit (QS51)
Enter the following data on the initial screen for editing selected sets:
Field name or data class Values
Catalog 1
Plant 1000
Selected set AW01-##
By choosing the Return key, the pushbutton Create/change, or Enter, the Change Selected Set screen appears. Enter a description for your selected set in the short text field. To use the selected set, you must set the status Released.
Select the line with your selected set AW01-##. In the dialog structure, double-click on Codes of selected sets. The Change Codes of Selected Sets view appears. On this overview screen, no codes have been entered yet for selected set AW01-##. Choose the F5 function key or the pushbutton New entries. On this screen, you can enter the required code groups and codes with their valuation.

Copy your code group CG01-## to the selected set AW01-##. To do this, place the cursor in the Code group field and on the application toolbar choose Code groups. The initial screen for displaying the code group index appears. If you do not limit the selection on this screen, the system displays all code groups and codes for catalog type 1 after you choose Index or F5.
Select the line containing code group CG01-## if you want to transfer all codes from this code group. You can also select individual lines with the required codes to transfer only those codes to the selected set.
Then press F6 or choose Copy. The code group and codes are only saved temporarily, and the screen for maintaining set codes appears. On this screen, you can use F4 to add the code group.
In the selected set, you can valuate the code using the input help. If you valuate codes with Rejected, you must also specify a defect class. To do so, use the F4 help to select from the predefined defect classes.
Hint: You can also use F4 help to transfer other entries to your selected set.
If you place the cursor in the Code Group field, you can use the F4 help to select the required codes from the different code groups (catalog type 1) and transfer them.
If you place the cursor in the Code field, you can use the F4 help to select one required codes and transfer it.
Copy the Other valuation code selected set to selected set AW01-##. To do so, place the cursor in the Code group field and on the application toolbar choose Selected Sets. The initial screen for displaying the selected set index appears. Only enter plant 1000 on this selection screen. After you use the pushbutton Index or the F5 function key, all selected sets of catalog type 1 in plant 1000 are displayed.
Select the line with the Other valuation codes selected set if you want to transfer all codes of the selected set. Select the row with one code from the selected set to transfer only certain codes of the selected set.

Assignment of the selected set to a master inspection characteristic
1. You want to valuate master inspection characteristic CH01-## using the specifications from selected set AW01-##. To do this, you must change the control indicators for the master inspection characteristic CH01-##.
Which control indicator do you have to set?
Control indicators:
____________________________________________
What other changes do you have to make?
____________________________________________
a) Logistics → Quality Management → Quality Planning → Basic Data → Inspection Characteristic → Change (QS23)
Enter the following data on the initial screen for changing the master inspection characteristic version:
Field name or data class Values
Plant 1000
Master Inspection Characteristic CH01-##
By choosing the Return key, the pushbutton Master inspection
characteristic, or Enter, the view Change Master Inspection Characteristic Version: General Data appears. Use the pushbutton Control indicators, and set the indicator Charac. attribute in the Type screen area. You use this indicator to specify that you refer to codes for a selected set during results recording. After choosing the Return key, the second screen of control indicators appears. You leave this screen also by using the Return key. The screen Assigned inspection catalogs then appears automatically. You can enter the selected set AW01-## used for the valuation of the characteristic manually in the field CGr/SSet or with a single click using the input help from the displayed overview. Exit the Assigned inspection catalogs screen using the Return key and save your entries.
