Definition Tab, Sample Information

Define information about the sample.

Number of Samples

Enter the number of samples to be taken for the test.

Sample Percentage

Enter the percentage of an order quantity, which determines the number of samples to create in Test Results Revisions. For example, if the sample percentage is 50 percent and the order quantity is 10, then 5 samples will be created in Test Results Revisions. Use either this field or Number of Samples to control how many samples to create. You can use this field only with the order mode of Test Results Revisions.

If the sample percentage is 100 percent, then testing is required for every unit on the order. You cannot use Accept Percentage or Accept Quantity, as all units on the order must pass for the lot to pass.

Sample Size

Enter the quantity of one sample to be taken for the test. As the system does not use this field, it is for information only.

Sample Size UOM (sample size unit of measure)

Enter an identifying value for the unit of measure for a sample you take to test. Examples of units of measure include barrels, gallons, hours, and cubic yards.

Accept Quantity

Indicates the quantity of tests that must pass in order for the test sample to pass quality control. The system evaluates this value when the sample percentage is not equal to 100. To use this accept quantity value, you must complete these fields on Test Definitions accordingly. Values are:

Blank: Accept percentage

1: Display/evaluate
