Setup Examples

Herewith a few examples om how the Quality Control Samples are being calculated to guide the QA/QC person to writeoff the correct quantity.
Of course, there are many other possibilities, but the examples below provide insight into how this feature works in basic terms.

Example 1

In this example we have 4 Data Collection Lines with each same Sample Unit of Measure and we Combine Samples on all lines.

Data Element Code Sample Quantity Sample UoM Combine
Bacteria

0.25

LB YES
Color

0.25

LB YES
Smell

0.25

LB YES
Temperature

0.25

LB YES

This example will lead to a writeoff of 1 LB.

Example 2

In this example we have 2 Data Collection Lines with different Sample Unit of Measure and we Combine Samples on all lines.

Data Element Code Sample Quantity Sample UoM Combine
Bacteria

2

LB YES
Color

1

KG YES

In this example the system will calculate back to the Base Unit of Measure and will writeoff ± 4 LB.

Example 3

In this example we have 2 Data Collection Lines with different Sample Unit of Measure without Combine Samples.

LB NO
Color

1

KG NO

In this example the system will create 2 lines to writeoff, one for 2 LB and one for 1 KG.

Example 4

In this example we have 4 Data Collection Lines with two different Sample Unit of Measure and we Combine Samples on the Lines with Sample Unit of Measure LB.

KG NO

In this example the system will create 2 lines to writeoff, one for 1 LB and one for 1 KG.
