Review Sample Details

Version 8.1.1 Changes

Restored the ability to enter a QA sample without having to specify a Line Item.
Removed the rule requiring Sample From = Stockpile when Test Category = Quality Assurance.
Changed how the Resident Engineer information is saved on a Sample record so that Sample Notifications are sent to the current Resident and Project Engineers instead of to the ones that were assigned to the Contract when the sample was entered.
Corrected when HiCAMS requires disposition comments for Samples that are linked as Check Samples. Now, only the last sample in the chain requires a disposition.

Version 8.1 Changes

Fulfilled a user request to move the PAR button from the General Tab to the Line Item Tab. The request moves the button to the tab on which the disposition information is entered.

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.
Restored logic to track Create, Submit and Forward actions on Sample History.

Version 6.2 Changes

Changing the Material or Material Type will now automatically remove any Alternate Ids associated with the sample.

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. Removal of the Submitted Date and Submitted To fields on an In Transit sample will still revert the sample status back to New.
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.
Corrected a problem with Save As logic that protected Alternate Ids, preventing users from deleting the ones copied from the original sample. The logic to remove the alternate ids if the Material or Material Type on a Sample is changed was also restored.

Version 6.1 Changes

Separated the Part portion of Sample/Part into its own column so that sorts/finds can be performed on the field.
Removed the Sample Card and Color from the window. This information is no longer stored on the Minimum Sampling Guide nor displayed on the Sample.

Version 6.0 Changes

The window was modified to remove the traditional edit format mask for sample numbers to allow easier entry and correction of sample ids in retrievals throughout the application. Users may type in any sample number and will no longer experience problems with cursor placement when an invalid number is entered.

Version 5.9 Changes

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.
The window has been enhanced to allow Asphalt Material Samples that are marked with a Testing Category of 'Informational' to be entered without identifying an Asphalt Mix Design. This is due to a new AASHTO Test Type and an Asphalt Pre-Approval process.

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. The Approved Producer/Supplier information is available for deletion by highlighting the data and depressing the Delete key. This feature is available only when an Approved Producer/Supplier is not required and the Sample is in the appropriate Status.

Version 5.4 Changes

The Avail Qty on the sample is now set to zero when the Sample is Authorized with a Status of Meets Specs . At that time, the Disposition Accepted Qty defaults to the entire Represented Qty so there should be nothing left Available.

For all three Does Not Meet Specs statuses, Accepted Quantities now update based on the Disposition information, not the Sample Status.

Version 4.4 Changes

The Material Selection window now has an option to filter the material list by a Contract and Line Item.

Up to 255 characters can be entered in the To Be Used In field on the General Tab of the Review Sample Details Window.
