Review Sample Details

Version 7.2 Changes

All contract specific samples will now require Represented, Accepted, Removed, and Pay Adjusted Quantity values to be entered at the line item level. If multiple line items are specified for the sample, the sum of the represented quantity for those line items must total the overall sample represented quantity on the General tab. The line item level quantities will be used on Project Certification calculations.

Version 7.0.1 Changes

Corrected a problem that caused the system to crash when a sample was in certain statuses and the notebook icon for the Certification Override Comment was clicked.
Adjusted the system to allow inquiry users to navigate to Pay Adjustment Recommendations that have been created on rejected samples.

Version 6.4 Changes

Corrected a problem that periodically caused Authorizing Lab to be blanked out when Sample Owner was changed.
Added an edit to prevent the user from selecting a concrete mix id for a class of concrete that doesn’t match the class of concrete assigned to the sampled material.

Version 6.1.1 Changes

Modified the window to allow the Submitted Date and Submitted To fields to be blanked out (if desired) on Samples that were created via Save As functionality from a New or In Transit sample.

Per user request, restored the Sample ID field to the upper right-hand corner of the window. It also remains in the window title bar.

Samples that contain one or more Alternate Ids that have been linked to a non-Voided Material Receipt may not be Unauthorized. The Links must be removed from the Material Receipt record before the Sample may be Unauthorized.

Version 5.5 Changes

When entering the Producer/Supplier on a Sample, focus will default to the Search By Plant ID field. The user may enter a known Plant ID and the System will obtain the corresponding valid Producer/Supplier.

This feature is available only when an Approved Producer/Supplier is not required and the Sample is in the appropriate Status.
