Use this window to add and update batches for documents.
When you add a new batch that already exists in another warehouse, a warning message appears. If you select the OK button, the attributes of the newly entered batch are overwritten by the attributes of the existing batch, including user-defined fields.
When the same batch already exists in the customer's system, in more than one warehouse with a different attribute, when you try to add a new batch with the same batch number, the attributes of the newly entered batch are overwritten by the attributes from the batch that was created first. But if more than one entry exists for the same batch on the same creation date, then the attributes of the newly created batch are overwritten randomly by one of those batches.
If the existing batch has no attributes at all, batches created afterwards will have no attributes as well.
The Location attribute is not overwritten by the location from an existing batch. It stays the same as it was set in the Batches - Setup window (or empty if the user did not enter any value).
