What Is Sample Drawing Procedure?
 
Transaction Code for Sampling Drawing Procedure : QPV2, QPV3
 
Tcode is QPV2 for sample drawing procedure.
 
It is Master data record that controls how physical samples are to be drawn and formed.
 
 
Sampling Drawing Procedure is a master data object in which you plan the drawing of physical samples. In the sample-drawing procedure, we need to specify:
 
- Which categories of physical samples must be drawn 
- How many physical samples must drawn 
- The size of each physical sample 
- Whether the drawing of physical samples must be confirmed
 
The system uses the information in the sample-drawing procedure together with the information in the inspection plan to calculate the physical sample sizes, and to create physical-sample records when an inspection lot is created.
 
A sample-drawing procedure contains the following types of information:
 
- Header data
- The sample drawing header contains the following information fields and control indicators:
 
Key that identifies the sample-drawing procedure 
 
- Short text description for the sample-drawing procedure.
- Authorization group that limits the access to the sample-drawing procedure. 
- Text for matchcode searches. 
- Long text indicator. 
Indicator for calculating the number of physical samples on the basis of number of containers in the inspection lot (as opposed to the base unit of measure) 
- Confirmation indicator to activate or deactivate the confirmation requirement.
- Lock indicator to prevent the sample-drawing procedure from being used.
- Usage indicator that shows whether the sample-drawing procedure is currently used in an inspection plan.
- Sample-drawing item(s)
A sample-drawing item contains specific instructions for creating physical samples with respect to a specific inspection lot container type and specific partial-sample numbers in the inspection plan. In a sample-drawing item, you can also specify:
 

Which categories of physical samples you want to create (primary samples, pooled samples, and reserve samples)?
 
- The physical sample container you use to draw each category of physical sample.
- A factor to increase the quantity of physical samples to be created (for example, if you need to carry out more than one inspection).
- The number of physical samples to be created (fixed number or variable number based on a sampling scheme).
 
The sample-drawing procedure interacts with the following planning objects:
 
- Inspection plan
You assign a sample-drawing procedure to an inspection plan to activate the functions for sample management.
 
- Sampling scheme (optional)
If you want the system to determine the number of physical samples automatically on the basis of a sampling scheme, you can reference sampling schemes in a sample-drawing procedure.
