    IsAvailable field in Specimen page

    Product Features
    #1

    Is it necessary to retain the isAvailable field in Specimen page given that we have below three different fields to indicate same meaning:

    1. Activity status: closed
    2. Available Quantity: 0
    3. isAvailable

    If we remove #3 and retain the #1 & #2, will it solve all the current use cases to mark specimen as not available?

    Also, if a specimen is closed and there is remaining available quantity, should it be updated to zero? IMO, it should not get updated to track that some quantity was still remaining when closed.

    Please let us know your feedback.

    Thanks,

    Hi Poornima- We don’t really consistently use the isAvailable option in our CaTissue version. We mainly use the Status and AvailQty fields. However I would not update the AvailQty to zero just by closing a specimen. There may be times when we still have some Qty left but are unable to use the sample for other reasons.

    Thanks!
