# Sterilize: How do I add a load from yesterday?

**Sometimes sterilization loads do not get put into the system at the time they occur. Not to worry! They can be added retroactively.**

AccessibilityThe ability to change load information is only for Sonar users manager and above, or for users with the correct user preferences. The Fix button is a user preference set up in Facility->User->Prefs and is automatically available for managers and above. The ability to change the Status Change Summary is available for managers and above as well.

**1)** Go to the **Sterilize** module and click **Add**

**2)** Build the load as normal, but be sure to replicate exactly what should have been recorded. Specify the proper Method, machine, and Params. If there were Items in the load, add the Items. If there were indicators added or maintenance checks performed, make this load reflect it.

Load NumbersSonar automatically assigns load numbers. It is important to retroactively add loads at a time when other loads will **NOT** be created. This will save you time and avoid errors related to incorrect load number changes. The Fix button will be used to edit the load number.

**3)** Move the load through the stages. Then select "**Status Change Summary**" from the **Actions** menu in the top right. Change the dates and times to represent reality as much as possible.

**4)** Use the **Fix** button to update the load number(s) as needed. Utilize the Date, Method, and Sterilizer filters to find the correct information. Once the changes have been completed, click **Apply** in the upper right
