Overriding Locked Sample Management Records
To ensure seamless updates while maintaining data security and compliance with regulatory requirements, integration users or sample admins can update fields on submitted or locked Sample Management records. This eliminates the need for an admin user to manually unlock the record, or for the integration user to have Modify All permission.
Locked records can be updated on the following objects:
- sample_order_transaction__v
- sample_transaction__v
For example, when Business Reply Cards (BRCs) are shipped by a fulfillment vendor and delivered to the HCP, the Shipment Status field on the Sample Order Transaction record must be updated. Integration users can easily override the locked record to update the Shipment Status, without modifying the record status or requiring extra permissions.
Who can use this feature?
- Browser Users
- Users do not require an additional license
- Integration Users, Sample Admin Users

Managing Picklist and Field Values for Sampling as
Integration Users, Sample Admin Users
Integration users or sample admin users can override locked records to make edits to a record as needed, without changing the status. To override a locked record, ensure the override_lock__v check box is selected on the appropriate records during data loading or when records are updated by integrations.
When a record is edited by overriding the lock, the status does not change. Edits are written directly to the locked record and are captured in the record’s audit trail.
When updating Multi-Line Transactions records using data loading or integrations, changes are not carried across records within a group. For changes that apply across records, update each record in the group to ensure consistent data.
