Sample Numbering

The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Quality Management system provides a unique numbering system for samples when you enter test results. To track test results to a specific sample, you can set up the system to use Next Numbers to assign sample numbers. You can also override a system assigned number. If you do not set the processing option for sample numbering, you must enter a sample number for each test result.

If you need to retest the sample, you can either assign an existing sample number or a new sample number to the new test results, depending on whether you collected a new sample. If you retest the original sample, you can assign a duplicate sample number for the test.

If you load external test results from a third-party system, the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Quality Management system assigns unique sample numbers only if they have not been provided by the inbound data.

Note: Do not confuse the sample number with the number of samples. The sample number identifies a group of tests within the same sample, such as 50002. The number of samples indicates how many samples to take for a test, such as 3.
