Understanding Sample Containers

When you take samples of a blend product to test the result of a blend operation, for example, an additive operation, you can use sample containers that you set up in the system. You can associate a sample container with the test definition or you can set up a default sample container in the winery constants. If the test definition does not include a sample container, the system uses the default container from the winery constants. If you have not set up a default sample container, the system creates samples without containers.

You set up sample containers using the Sample Container program (P3705).

If you try to enter a sample transaction with a sample container that has not been set up in the Sample Container table (F3705), the system issue an error. For sample containers that are set up, but do not specify capacity and unit of measure, the system issues an error as well.
