Via the Sensorial History section


By following these steps, you can group your Samples via the Sensorial History section:

Example:

You get an Offer Sample.
First, you need to add this Sample with all the necessary information to Cropster. If you accept the Sample from the supplier, you will receive a Pre-shipment Sample.

After the Pre-shipment Sample, you will receive the Arrival from the buyer.
Like the Offer Sample and the Pre-shipment Sample, the Arrival belongs in the same Sample Group and can be added the same way.

It will also be considered a single lot, which you can then transfer into your (Green) Inventory.
💡Once you've moved one Sample of the group to the Inventory, the (Green) Inventory will show your complete Sample History. 

 

  1. Navigate to the Samples on the main menu bar. You will be directed to the Samples overview page
  2. Click on the respective SG number.
  3. Scroll down the detail page until you reach the Quality Information section.
  4. To add that Pre-shipment Sample to Cropster, enter the Sensorial History section of the related Offer sample.
  5. Click Add sample to create a new Sample that is automatically linked to the Offer Sample.
