For example, as you select or certify new suppliers, inspection requirements often change, perhaps requiring changes to the supplier collection plans. You can define new collection elements that represent new or modified products and processes then create collection plan elements from them. Similarly, you can delete collection plan elements as they become obsolete.

   To update collection plans:

1. Navigate to the Collection Plans window.

2. Select the Collection Plan using Query Find. See: Searching for Information.

3. Update the collection plan.

You can change the description, effective dates, and plan type of a collection plan. You can also change the type of specification that is associated with a collection plan. You can change and delete quality actions and values. Finally, you can change and delete quality collection transactions. There are no restrictions on any of these changes.

You can add collection elements to an existing collection plan. You can update parameters -- mandatory, enabled, displayed -- as well as the default values of your collection plan elements. You can add, change, and delete collection plan element actions and values. You can make all of these changes without restriction.

4. Save your work.

   To update database views:

1. Choose the Views button. The Database Views window appears.

2. Choose the Create Views button.

As you add and delete collection plan elements or change some collection plan element fields, such as the prompt, the database views for the collection plan are automatically updated. If the view update fails, however, you can manually update your database views using Create Views. See: Collection Plan and Import Results Database Views.

Attention: If you are importing quality results data for collection plans created prior to the installation of Oracle Quality Release 10.6.0.14SC, you must first create an import results database view for the collection plan.

3. Save your work.

   To delete collection plans:
