Requesting Sample Lots
To avoid running out of unexpired, active samples, users can submit requests for additional samples via the My Samples page. When a user submits a sample request, the request is sent to a sample distributor or fulfillment vendor who prepares the sample shipment for the user. A sample admin then creates the requested sample lot records and assigns them to the appropriate user.
