Batches

Complete

Product Batches are used to associate a batch number, expiry date, and manufacturer with a particular product.

The Batches screen supports:

  • querying Batches by batch number, expiry date, product, stock location, active status and manufacturer
  • creating new batches
  • viewing and editing batches
  • deleting batches

When first used, the screen will be empty. The picture below shows it after a selection has been done.

 

 

Create/Edit/View

Complete

This is the Create/Edit/View screen for product Batches.

The fields are:

Id - the internal identifier for the batch.
Batch Number - the manufacturer's identifier for the batch.
Product - the product the batch is for.
Expiry Date - the batch expiry date.
Description - batch description.
Active - uncheck this box to deactive the batch.
Manufacturer - the batch manufacturer.

Stock Locations

The Stock Locations tab is used to track the locations where a batch is located. Each Batch Stock Location identifies the location, and the date range that the batch is active for at that location.

If a batch has run out at Location A, but not Location B, set the To Date for Location A to today's date. It will no longer be displayed in queries at Location A.

If a batch has run out at all locations, then the Active flag can also be unticked.
