Finished Goods Tests
The Finished Goods Tests configuration page allows you to create and edit lab test procedures, requests, and special charges for ordered or finished goods. Use it to define test details, add services, build form sections, and configure fields that collect the needed test information.
Navigation
Go to Administration > Configuration > Finished Goods Tests.
Overview
Creating a special charge or lab test involves building parameters for the lab test and creating form sections that provide inputs for the required information. After tests and sections are created, they can be edited or applied to future occurrences within Virtual Ops.
To edit an existing lab test, open the dropdown and select the lab test from the list. To create a new lab test, select Add New Test from the list.
Special charges for lab tests are often added to orders or finished goods. For more information on adding special charges and lab tests, click here.
