- Request New Sample
Click to create a new sample for an output lot. The system generates a bench sample number, retrieves the current date and sets the sample status to a status that indicates that the sample has been created. Initially the system creates the bench blend sample in cache. You can create only one bench blend sample per session.
When you save and close the record, the system calculates the volume for each contributing input lot based on the bench volume that you enter and the value in the Percent Contributed field for the input lots. It also generates the sample numbers for the component samples and calculates their volumes. You cannot change this information.
