Physical-Sample Drawing

Definition

A data record that serves as a reference object for all physical samples (primary samples, pooled samples, and reserve samples) that were drawn from the same inspection lot. The system automatically assigns a unique number to each physical-sample drawing when an inspection lot is created.

Use

You can use the physical-sample drawing to collectively process all physical samples drawn from the same inspection lot. The physical-sample drawing allows you to:

  • Release one or more physical samples and record comments for the sample drawing (when you release a physical sample, the system changes the status from created to released)

  • Lock one or more physical samples (prevents you from recording inspection results for the physical samples)

  • Set a deletion flag for one or more physical samples (marks the physical-sample records for deletion when the next reorganization run takes place)

Structure

The physical-sample drawing record consists of a header with the following information:

  • Physical-sample drawing number

  • Date and time physical-sample drawing was created and name of person who created the record

  • Date and time physical-sample drawing was released and name of person who released the record

  • Plant, material, and batch

  • Inspection lot number
