In fact,this topic should be talked about at first.But I wrote blogs about QM following my learning path.
Master Inspection Characteristic tells what should be inspected in quality inspection.

A master inspection characteristic is only availiable when its status is to Released.
Control Indicators
We use the control indicators in the master inspection characteristic to determine the process flow of the characteristic inspection in detail.The path is Quality Management->Quality Planning->Basic Data->Inspection Characteristic,Inspection Method->Define Default Values for Control Indicators.
