Documentation

Use

Enter a formula in this field, to calculate the number of samples. The formula is evaluated in the following places using the SAP formula interpreter:

• In the sample-drawing procedure at syntactical correctness
• At lot creation, if the number of physical samples has to be calculated

The following formula parameters are available:

• P1 Lot quantity
• P2 Number of containers
• P3 Number of primary samples

You can only use formula parameter P3 in a formula to calculate the number of pooled samples.

Dependencies

Example

The number of primary samples results, for example, from the proportion of whole numbers (square root of the number of containers + 1)

The formula can (using the standard settings) be built up then, for example, in the following way:

FORMULA = TRUNC(SQRT(P2)+1)

For example, with 10 containers there are 4 primary samples.
