Common Fields Used in This Chapter
- Allowed Maximum
Enter the highest value for a passing test result.
- Allowed Minimum
Enter the lowest value for a passing test result.
- Conversion ID or Result Conversion ID
Enter the conversion table ID to use to convert a test result to a common unit of measure. The common unit of measure is defined in test result names. For example, if you enter a test value in degrees Fahrenheit, the test result name is defined as degrees Celsius. The system stores both the entered and converted test results.
- Display Decimals
Enter a value to designate the number of decimals in the amount or quantity fields that appear.
- Numeric
Select to indicate that the result value is numeric and right-justified. Clear to indicate that the result value is alphanumeric and left-justified.
Tests that use alphanumeric result values can have user-defined code (UDC) tables set up that contain alpha to numeric translations. The purpose of these tables is to supply result evaluations with a way of determining whether a result is within the range of the minimum and maximum values.
- Preferred Maximum
Enter the highest value for the preferred test result. This value must be less than or equal to the value that you enter in the Allowed Maximum field. Use the preferred maximum value to measure quality to a more precise specification than a customer requests.
Processing options for the Certificate of Analysis (R37900) program enable you to print the preferred value on the Certificate of Analysis report. Processing options for the Test Revisions (P3701) program enable you to evaluate samples against the preferred values.
- Preferred Minimum
Enter the lowest value for the preferred test result. This value must be greater than or equal to the value that you enter in the Allowed Minimum field. Use the preferred minimum value to measure quality to a more precise specification than a customer requests.
Processing options for the Certificate of Analysis (R37900) program enable you to print the preferred value on the Certificate of Analysis report. Processing options for the Test Revisions (P3701) program enable you to evaluate samples against the preferred values.
- Product Code
Enter a UDC (98/SY) that identifies a system. Values include:
01: Address Book.
03B: Accounts Receivable.
04: Accounts Payable.
09: General Accounting.
11: Multicurrency.
- Result UOM (result unit of measure)
Enter a UDC (37/UM) to identify the unit of measure for a test result. Examples of units of measure include barrels, boxes, cubic yards, gallons, and hours.
- Target
Enter the target or preferable test result within the test results range. The system does not validate against a target value; this field is for informational purposes only.
- Test ID (test identification)
Enter the unique identifier for a test that you perform on an item. For example, you can enter COL for color test or CL-2 for a clarity test.
- Test Result Name
Enter the name for the test result.
- User Defined Codes
Enter a code that identifies the table that contains user-defined codes. The table is also referred to as a UDC type.
