Sample-Drawing Procedure 

Definition

A master data object in which you plan the drawing of physical samples. In the sample-drawing procedure, you specify:

Use

The system uses the information in the sample-drawing procedure together with the information in the inspection plan to calculate the physical sample sizes, and to create physical-sample records when an inspection lot is created.

Structure

A sample-drawing procedure contains the following types of information:

The sample drawing header contains the following information fields and control indicators:

A sample-drawing item contains specific instructions for creating physical samples with respect to a specific inspection lot container type and specific partial-sample numbers in the inspection plan. In a sample-drawing item, you can also specify:

Integration

The sample-drawing procedure interacts with the following planning objects:

You assign a sample-drawing procedure to an inspection plan to activate the functions for sample management.

If you want the system to determine the number of physical samples automatically on the basis of a sampling scheme, you can reference sampling schemes in a sample-drawing procedure.
