Confirming Product Receipt
To disburse products and create sample transactions, end users must confirm they received the products transferred to them in the expected quantities. When a user confirms sample receipt, sample receipt records are generated and the transferred products are added to the user’s calculated quantity for that sample lot. In addition, by creating a paper trail for sample shipments, sample receipt records enable users and organizations to identify lost or missing sample lots.

Confirming Product Receipt as

To confirm pending sample receipt:
- Navigate to the Pending Sample Receipts section of the My Samples tab.
- Select the Confirm link for the appropriate sample shipments. The Confirm Receipt pop-up displays.
- Ensure the confirmed_quantity__v field is correct.
By default, the confirmed_quantity__v field is automatically populated with the expected quantity. To require users to manually input a number for confirmed_quantity__v, see Requiring Users to Manually Confirm Sample Quantities.
- Enter Confirmed Comments for notes regarding the sample shipment or discrepancies in sample quantity or type (optional).
- Select Save to confirm sample receipt.
When a user confirms sample receipt, the following automatically occurs:
- A sample_transaction__v or sample_order_transaction__v record with the object type receipt__v is created. The ownerid__v field on the transfer record is set to the user confirming receipt.
- The corresponding sample lot is added to the user’s list of active Sample Lots. By default when a new sample lot is transferred to the user, it is automatically marked as active. This is determined by the enable_receipt_activation__v Veeva Setting, which is enabled as part of Configuring Sample Management.
- On the sample_transaction__v or sample_order_transaction__v transfer record the user is confirming, the received__v check box is selected and the discrepancy__v formula field calculates the difference between the quantity__v and confirmed_quantity__v fields. If the confirmed quantity does not match the expected quantity for the shipment, a discrepancy is recorded.
If the receipt is created through data load or integration with an external system, the ref_transaction_id__v field is not populated
