Import as is

When receiving a shipping file, it is possible to take shipping and storage items in the shipment and automatically assign them to your laboratory’s storage. The option to do this is provided when receiving a shipping file.

The items on the shipment will be placed in your storage based on what it is.

Item Where it will go in storage
Storage unit Added as a new storage unit
Level or container In the SHIPPING IMPORT FREEZER, on a level with the shipment number

If the item was a storage item at the sending laboratory, it will retain its original name in your storage. If the item was a storage contain created for the shipment, it will be placed in the SHIPPING IMPORT FREEZER on a level with the shipment number. These containers will generally have names like “Auto-generated box #76-1” in your storage. The shelf name also includes the sending lab ID.

Once the items are added to your storage, you are not restricted to how you use them. You can retain containers, move them to different storage units, and so forth.
