## 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
* inventory\_order\_\_v
* inventory\_order\_line\_\_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.

#### Validation Disclaimer

Overriding Locked Sample Management Records is released without validation. This feature requires enablement and does not affect other Vault CRM functionality. It was extensively tested by our QA team during the development and release process and will go through validation at a later date.

**Who can use this feature?**

### Overriding Locked Sample Management Records as

[![Closed](../../../../Skins/Default/Stylesheets/Images/transparent.gif)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 checkbox 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.

Changes to inventory\_order\_\_v record status are automatically reflected on the associated inventory\_order\_line\_\_v records. However, because the status for individual inventory order line items may vary, edits to inventory\_order\_line\_\_v record status are not automatically reflected on the inventory\_order\_\_v record. For example, a submitted inventory order includes a completed inventory order line item, an inventory order line item still in progress, and an inventory order line item canceled due to unavailable products. The status for any one of these line items is not carried over to the inventory order as a whole.

When updating [Multi-Line Transactions](../RecordingSampleTransactions/MultiProduct.htm) 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.
