### Question

In some cases, the time of the request and of the admission is not known, e.g. when the instrument was listed far in the past or when the request was submitted by postal service. In such cases, would it be possible to populate fields 10 and 11 with a default time?

### Answer

When the time is not available, the default time of midnight (00:00:00) should be provided.
