Restricting Sample Send Addresses
For organizations with an address verification program or specific facility restriction policies, restrictions on sample send addresses prevent certain addresses from receiving BRCs, even if the account and address are eligible for hand carry samples. Sample send status provides an extra layer of filtering by limiting the addresses displayed in the Ship To Address picklist to only those addresses with a valid or unselected sample send status.

- valid__v – Samples can be shipped to this address
- invalid__v – Samples cannot be shipped to this address
- Set the appropriate default value for newly created address records by selecting the check box for the appropriate option in the Values section of the sample_send_status__v field detail (optional):
- pending__v – Samples cannot be shipped to this address until the address has been verified and updated to a status of valid__v
- valid__v – Samples can be shipped to this address when creating the address and until (if ever) the sample send is changed to invalid__v
If a default value is set, the value automatically populates the Sample Sent Status field on the call report.
Once an address record is created, sample admin users maintain the address’s sample send status.
