This feature applies only to batch processes that use a Reduction standard.
In Reduction standards, the batch's final grade is determined by a calculated score (1–100). You can now calculate this score as a weighted average based on the volume of each in-batch inspection.
What's changed
Previously, the batch score was calculated as a simple average of all in-batch inspection scores. Every in-batch inspection had the same impact on the final score, regardless of the quantity it represented.
Now, you can define a numeric property in the in-batch process settings to represent the inspection volume (for example, the number of boxes or pallets). When configured, each in-batch inspection contributes to the batch score according to its volume, resulting in a weighted average.
In addition, if the batch process does not have a property representing the total batch volume, the batch inspection volume is calculated automatically by summing the volumes of all in-batch inspections.
How to configure inspection volume
- Open Specs and edit the in-batch process.
- In Process Settings, select the numeric property that represents the Inspection Volume.
- Save the process settings.
Once configured, new batch inspections will calculate the batch score as a weighted average based on the configured inspection volume (for example, the number of boxes or pallets).
Inspection Volume in Reports
The configured inspection volume is also available in the Reports screen as the Inspection Volume column under the General category. When grouping data, this column is summed rather than averaged, allowing the total volume to be accurately presented—for example, in the batch overview within the QC report.
