Cancelling a Stability Study

Use

When you cancel a stability study, you terminate all activities in the study usually before all tests have been completed. The system then responds as follows:

  • It sets the user status CANC (cancelled) in the study, which is documented as a task in the study. This status cannot be revoked and it prevents any other user statuses from being set in the study.

  • It locks the testing schedule.

  • It locks all physical samples that belong to the study (initial sample and all stability samples).

Result

The testing schedule and all physical samples belonging to the stability study are locked and the status CANC is set in the stability study. All inspection lots that were created for the study that are:

  • Not being processed and have not been completed, must be cancelled

  • Being processed must be completed by means of a usage decision (that is, any open inspection characteristics in the lot must be forcibly closed when you make the usage decision)

As a final step, you can print out the storage removal list for all stability samples and remove the stability samples by means of a follow-up function in the stability study, or you can create reserve samples.
