Technetters, Need some help from all the Technetters out there, on specific ways of reporting data in defect management systems. We are implementing the SAP "QM" module and this issue has been raised and I need to address it for the implementation team. To what level of detail do you(technetters) put reference designations for Chassis level assembly. For example, a screw is not tightened to specification. How are you recording that defect in your tracking systems? Just stating a piece of hardware is loose or are you going to the detail to identify every piece of hardware noted on a BOM and assigning a unique identifier or "WHAT?" All experiences and suggestions will be appreciated. Please respond either personally or through Technet.
