  • What causes this issue?

    You want to change a master inspection characteristic. Certain control
    indicators cannot be changed. Others can only be changed with care.
    &Example&
    <ZH>Example 1</>: The master inspection characteristic is either
    included in a material specification or in a task list as a reference,
    and changes are made without history.
    If the "Sampling procedure" or "SPC characteristic" is set, a change to
    the other control indicators can lead to inconsistencies, since
    sampling procedures that are included in material specifications and
    task lists may no longer be compatible with the control indicators.
    Once you have changed the control indicators, you should therefore
    check the task lists and material specifications, in which the master
    inspection characteristic is included as a reference.
    In this example, the following control indicators cannot be changed:
    Characteristic attribute
    Lower specification limit
    Upper specification limit
    Check target value
    Sampling procedure
    SPC characteristic
    Test equipment assignment
    Calculated characteristic
    <ZH>Example 2</>: The master inspection characteristic is linked to a
    numeric class characteristic. In this example, the following control
    indicators canot be changed :
    Lower specification limit
    Upper specification limit
    Confirm values
    Classed recording
    All other control indicators can be changed, provided that conditions
    in example 1 do not apply.
    <ZH>Example 3</>: The master inspection characteristic is linked to a
    class characteristic that has a reference to a selected set. In this
    example, the following control indicators cannot be changed:
    Characteristic attribute
    All other control indicators can be changed, provided that conditions
    in example 1 do not apply
