A defect is any non-conformance of the unit of product with the specified requirements. A defective is a unit of product which contains one or more defects. Failure to meet requirements with respect to quality characteristics are usually described in terms of defects or defectives.
Means in simple terms defect is any non conformance which
does not comply the Quality requirement / standard.
Can we use inspection points in defects recording?
If you are using inspection points for inspection, you can choose the appropriate level of defect recording by selecting from the menu path Edit -> Defects ->... If you have entered defects at two or more levels, you can also call up the defect structure through the same menu path.
An inspection point requirement is given only in a task list. Therefore you cannot avoid operations and inspection characteristics.
You can work around this in the following way:
In the routing, have one inspection characteristic such as 'Defect-free sample' with control indicators - characteristic attribute and defect recording selected. Link a simple OK/Not OK catalog entry in the attribute catalog to this defect and do not give any defect code in the 'code for rejection' area. This may generate a warning message at the time of saving the routing, which can be ignored.
Now when you record the result for the inspection point characteristic as Not OK, the system will prompt you to record defects.
The above is a good work around proposal.

You can also consider another alternative if you do not want to maintain Inspection plans with Inspection points and go thru the Results Recording.
You can maintain Defect location as catalogue and use them instead of Inspection points.
In Defect recording Transaction QF01, call up the report type with Defect location and record the defects along with Defect location.
Later, you can analyse the data using MCXX.
