Create Q-case
The form for creating a Q-Case manually is more or less identcal with the normal form for entering a Q-Case besides the fact, that the Q-Case number can be entered manually.
So the first step is to select a Q-Case year and a Q-Case number. As soon as the number is entered the system will check if there is already a Q-Case with this number available and if yes issue an error message.
If the Q-Case number is available, the form must be completed just as a normal Q-Case and finally saved.
After saving the system redirects you to the basic data page where you can start to fill additional data to the Q-Case. To indicate that this is a manual Q-Case the background color of the Q-Case number is margenta.
As long as a manual Q-Case not not been set to a specific status the Q-Case is only visible to admins and quality.
Be careful when selecting a Q-Case number of the current year. If you e.g. select yyyy_8999 as Q-Case number the next automatically generated Q-Case number will be yyyy_9000 and and number between the last automatically generated number and the manual number will be skipped.
