Sent to lab
You set up sample statuses in the Sample Status UDC table (31B/QA). When you create a sample on the Sample tab on the Edit Operation Detail form, the system sets the sample status to one of the statuses with a special handling code value of Y.
- Change Status
Click after selecting the sample status. The system updates all sample lines that you select with this status.
- Sample Volume
Specify the volume of the sample.
- Sample Container
You can enter a sample container. If you specify a sample container in the test definition, the system displays this information here, including closure information.
- Number of Containers
The system calculates the number of sample containers by dividing the sample volume by the size of the sample container.
- Lab
The system displays the address book number of the testing lab that you specified in the test definition. If the test definition does not include a lab number, the system uses the address book number of the winery for which you create the operations as the default value.
- Closure
The system displays the container closure that you specified in the sample container record.
- Sample Method
Select a method for taking the sample from the Sample Method UDC table (31B/SM). for example, you can specify that the sample should be taken from the upper part of the tank.
- Alternate Sample Number
If you import samples from a third-party source, the system stores the third-party sample number as the alternate sample number
- Consolidated Sample
Depending on the sample consolidation method that you specified in the test definition, the system can consolidate samples. If the consolidation method is defined as cumulative, the samples for different test can be added together. If the consolidation method of the test specifies reuse, the sample is reused for another test.
If the sample is consolidated, the system displays a value of Y in this field. Reuse and consolidation are not possible if the tests are conducted in different labs.
- VBT Sample Detail
Select to access the Edit VBT Sample Detail form. On this form you can change sampling information, such as the Sampled field, the sampling sequence, and the rack number. Any changes that you make here are displayed in the Operation - VBT Move Details program (P31B66).
Note: You must select a VBT sample record to display this button. If you do not select a record, the system does not display the button.
