If you are processing an inspection with physical samples and you want to create an additional, unplanned physical sample or a new physical-sample drawing for an inspection lot, you can create the physical sample(s) and corresponding inspection specifications (inspection points) simultaneously in a single step. This allows you to record inspection results for the additional physical samples immediately after you create them.

You have the following options for creating additional, unplanned physical samples:

If, for example, you want to create and inspect an additional physical sample in a goods receipt inspection (in addition to the physical samples that were planned and previously created automatically with the inspection lot), you can create the physical sample and the corresponding inspection specifications in a single step in the transaction for recording inspection results for physical samples.

The system creates the physical sample in the background and then branches directly to the results recording screen, where you can record the inspection results for the physical sample.

When the physical sample is created, the system automatically proposes the following data, which you can change if necessary:

• Number of last physical-sample drawing for the inspection lot or operation
• Physical-sample category
• Physical-sample container
• If possible, the physical-sample quantity and the sample unit of measure (for example, the data for an existing physical sample belonging to the physical-sample drawing for the operation)

Also, when the physical sample is created:

• You or the system can assign a number to the new physical sample
• You can decide whether you want to create a new physical-sample drawing or expand an existing one.

If the inspection lot does not require you to confirm the physical sample drawing, the new physical sample is released immediately. Otherwise, you must first release the physical sample manually or confirm the physical-sample drawing, if you created a new one.
