This option can be used to enter the details of a container brought to the decay store, that has not previously had contents recorded on IsoStock.
This usually occurs when there is some generic waste, or contaminated wipes, gloves etc. that aren’t attributed to a single open source. Under normal use, container contents are recorded during the day-to-day work with the compounds.
The option records several transactions during a single entry.
- New container
- Count via meter
- Manually adjust contents
- Seal container
- Move to decay store
