Each control plan consists of two levels: a header and one or more lines. This is used to create a new control plan header. The control plan that you create can be either a control plan manufacturing for manufactured parts, a control plan purchasing for purchased parts or a control plan inventory for inventory parts.
To create a new control plan header click the new command, enter information about the header and click Save. If control plan lines defined as categorical will be defined, select a value in the Category Entry Type field. If Receipt Not Allowed is enabled for manufacturing and purchasing templates all analyses connected to the order need to be confirmed and all time triggers need to be stopped in order to receive parts. For inventory templates Use Catch UoM can be enabled.
As a result of this activity, a control plan header is created for a control plan manufacturing, a control plan purchasing or a control plan inventory.
