Understanding Test Results Entry

After you perform quality tests on a harvest or weigh tag, you can enter the test results for individual operations or for multiple operations using speed result entry. When you select operations, the system reserves those operations. If the operation is currently reserved, an error message appears on the Edit Speed Results form. Additionally, the system reserves all harvests on the operation that you select and those operations that relate to the selected operation. If the harvest is currently reserved, the system displays an error message. You must cancel the reserved operation or harvest selection.

You enter the tester for the quality operation and harvest record. You can also manually enter the date or use the system date.

You can enter test results at any status of the operation, but for only those tests that you specify in the operation. Test results that you enter at the active or actual status carry forward with each operation on the lot. The system cannot carry forward test results that you enter or change on a closed operation.

When you enter test results, you can set a processing option to validate results either against the test definition or the test result name. If the results do not meet test specifications and fall within acceptable ranges, the system issues a warning. If the test definition has a conversion ID, the system converts the test value to the result name value.

The system validates the test results that you enter for an operation with the test results from the Before Lot. If the change exceeds the change threshold percentage that you set up in the test definition, the system issues a warning. For example, if the previous result was 100 and you defined a change threshold of 10 percent, the system issues a warning if the new result is above 110 or below 90.

Test results come from:

• Harvest operations

• Farming operations

• Spray operations

• Weigh tag operations

The system stores test results in the Test Results table (F3711).
