Add Batch Numbering Schemes

You add batch numbering schemes from the Batch Numbering Schemes page in Batch Entry. You can create manual or auto-generated numbering schemes. To manually enter the batch number as you create batches, create a 'Manual' numbering scheme. For manual numbering schemes, the batch number options are disabled and you specify only the exception identifier. When you create a ‘Manual’ numbering scheme, you enter the batch number for the specific batch.

If you want the program to assign numbers to new batches automatically, create an ‘Auto-generated’ numbering scheme. For auto-generated numbering schemes, you can define the batch identifier and/or date formats, and the order in which they appear. The program assigns batch numbers for new batches automatically.
