End of life samples

End of Life samples are those which have had their Sample Status marked as:

  • Sold
  • Written-Off
  • Gifted
  • Returned to Vendor
  • Sent to Archive
  • Transferred to another department

 

These samples are considered End of Life, because when marked as the above statuses, the sample will be removed from the Inventory and will only be foundable within the 'Send-Out Report'. In most situations, samples with the above statues, are samples that are no longer in use.

Inventory samples will not be found within the End of Life Manager. 

 

 

 

Any user will have the ability to mark samples as:

  • Sold
  • Written-Off
  • Gifted

 

Any user who is part of the Department who is the owner of the sample will have the ability to mark samples as:

  • Sold 
  • Written-Off
  • Gifted
  • Return to Vendor
  • Sent to Archive
