Siebel Life Sciences Guide > Managing Pharma Samples > About Samples TransactionsIn the default configuration, Siebel Samples Management supports two open inventory periods. The samples administrator can override this default behavior by adding additional open periods using Siebel Tools. When users click the Submit button for a samples transaction, the system checks the transaction date and time to determine the inventory period into which the transaction should be entered. For all transactions except receipts, the application enters the transaction into the inventory period that includes the transaction's date and time. If no such period exists, the transaction submission fails. If the situation involves samples receipts (that is, received samples transactions displayed in the Received Samples view) and no inventory period exists that includes the transaction's date and time, Siebel Samples Management creates a new inventory period. For example, this situation might occur during initial deployment, before any inventory periods have been opened. The new period's start date and time are set to the invoice receipt's date and time. However, the application first checks whether any pending transaction has an earlier transaction date than the one being submitted. This is done to prevent any impasse that might occur if a second invoice receipt is later submitted with an earlier transaction date. NOTE: Once the first inventory period has been created, another period with an earlier start date and time cannot be created. Submitted samples transactions impact inventory counts in the following ways:
In the Transactions view, the Add, Adjust, and Submit buttons are enabled or disabled as follows:
