In SAP Quality Management (QM), the control indicators for a quantitative Master Inspection Characteristic (MIC) define how inspection results are processed and recorded. For results confirmation, SAP provides several distinct methods:

Summarized recording: Multiple measurement values for a sample are not recorded individually. Instead, the system records statistical values such as the mean, standard deviation, and the number of values.

Classed recording: The total range of possible measurement values is divided into classes. During results recording, you record the number of results that fall into each class.

Single result: A single measured value is recorded for each sample or inspection unit. This is the most straightforward recording method.

A. Mean value and standard deviation: These are statistical values that are calculated and stored when using the "Summarized recording" control indicator, not a control indicator type itself.

E. Mean value: This is a calculated result, typically recorded as part of a "Summarized recording," but it is not a primary control indicator that defines the recording method.

SAP Help Portal. Document: "Control Indicators for Master Inspection Characteristics". This official documentation outlines the various control indicators. In the section detailing the "Results Confirmation" group

it explicitly lists "Summarized recording

" "Classed recording

" and "Single result" as valid control indicators for quantitative characteristics.

which are directly determined by the control indicators set in the master inspection characteristic

confirming the distinct functionalities of single

and classed recording.
