G/I Submitted Samples Maintenance

 

This option is used to initially enter submitted samples into the SUBMITTED SAMPLES file, add new submitted samples, and make changes to existing submitted samples.

After selecting this option from the G/I Processing File Maintenance Menu, the computer will display the G/I Submitted Samples Maintenance screen as follows:

Enter the information on this screen as follows:

A) To add a new submitted sample, leave the Sequence number blank (if Don't Allow Zero Sequence Codes checkbox is NOT marked in the G/I Control File Maintenance) for the system to assign the next available sequence number or enter an unused Sequence number. The system will default the Inspection Date to the system date and the Srv Type (Service Type) will be defaulted to the value setup in G/I Control File Maintenance.

B) To view or change an existing submitted sample, enter the Sequence Number (or Perform A Search to find one) of the submitted sample you wish to change. Upon entering a valid sequence number, the computer will display the information stored for this submitted sample. Make changes in the same manner you entered the data.

Enter the Srv Type (Service Type) (or Perform A Search to find one). Upon entering a valid service type the computer will default IWS (Inspection Weighing Service), Grade Code, Qty Of Sample, Unit Of Measure, GIPSA Fee, Printed, and Posted To IDW stored in the Service Type's record.

Enter the Applicant # (or Perform A Search to find one). Upon entering a valid applicant # the computer will default applicant's Name, City, and State stored in the applicant's Customer record.

Enter the Name, City, and State of the applicant, if different than the defaulted values.

Select the appropriate Inspection Type and Purpose Code for this sample.

If the Inspection Type is a Reinspection or the Purpose Code is a Corrected Certificate, enter the Old Cert # (Old Certificate #) (or Perform A Search to find one) of the original sample that you wish to be re-inspected or corrected.  Upon entering the Old Certificate #, if the old certificate # already exists, the program will ask "Do you wish to default the information from the old certificate number?".  If you answer "Y", the information from the original sample will be defaulted into this new sample, and you will only need to change the information that needs to be changed; otherwise you will need to fill in all the information manually.  Next enter the Old Certificate Date of the original sample.  If this was a re-inspection, the computer will create the following statement in the remarks "This certificate supersedes certificate No. US-XX-#-#####, dated MM/DD/YYYY. Reinspection based on file sample. Other criteria results are those of original inspection service."

If the Purpose Code is a Corrected Certificate, enter the Reason.  The computer will create the following statement in the remarks "This certificate is corrected as to xxxxxx and supersedes certificate No. US-XX-#-##### dated MM/DD/YYYY."

Enter the Inspection Date for this sample (if different than the default).

Select the IWS (Inspection and Weighing Service) for this sample.

I - Insp Only Your agency only did the inspection on this sample and no weighing.

W - Weigh Only Your agency only did weighing of this sample and no inspection.

IW - Insp & Wgh Your agency did weighing and inspection of this sample.

Enter the Grade Code (or Perform A Search to find one). Upon entering a valid grade code the computer will default Commodity Class and Type Of Grain stored in the Grade Code record.  It will also setup the factors used for this Grade Code.

Enter the Commodity Class (or Perform A Search to find one) (if different than the default).  Upon entering a valid commodity class the computer will default the Type Of Grain

Enter the Type Of Grain (if different than the default).

Enter the Qty Of Sample (if different than the default).

Enter the Unit Of Measure (or Perform A Search to find one) that applies to the Qty Of Sample. Upon entering a valid Unit Of Measure the computer will display the description.

Enter the I.D. Of Sample for this sample.

Enter the Sample # for this sample.  This is a user assigned number that is used to further define the sample.  This number will NOT go to IDW and can be duplicated on other submitted samples.

Enter the Factor Results for this sample.  There are predefined factor codes assigned to each grade code.  In the example shown above, the Grade Code of 8 contains the following factors TestWt, Moist, SHBN, FrgnMat, Dmgd, Defects, HtDmg, WOCL, CCL, PROT, and DKG.  If one of the Factor Results is disabled, it was setup in Grade Code Maintenance to calculate automatically.  Additionally each factor has a  button that looks like this .  This button is used to add a remark to the predefined factor.  (Example - FrgnMat is 0.3% and is made up of 0.1% Rye and 0.2% Barley and the customer requires this breakdown on the certificate.  To do this you would enter 0.3 in the factor results for FrgnMat and then you would click the button that is left of the factor heading (FrgnMat) and fill into the remarks popup screen Foreign Material Includes 0.1% of Rye and 0.2% of Barley.)

If this does not get a grade and is NOT a Factor Only, mark the No Grade checkbox.  (DO NOT CHECK THIS BOX IF THIS IS A FACTOR ONLY SAMPLE.)  (Example - You have a sample of Yellow Corn that only needs an aflatoxin test and no other factor needs to be tested.)

If this is a sample grade only, mark the Sample Grade Only checkbox.  If the Grade Abbrv and Grade Desc are empty, when you exit the Sample Grade Only field, these values will be automatically filled in.  You may also click the Calc. button to calculate the results for Grade Abbrv and Grade Desc.

Enter the Grade Abbrv and Grade Desc of this sample, if different than the calculated values.
