Automatic Batch Update Fields
Item Number, Item Description

Displays the number and description of the item.

Quantity

Specify how many batch numbers you want to add for the item.

No. of Batches

The quantity of items is divided equally among the number of batches. If there is any remainder, it is added to the last row and a message to that effect is displayed at the bottom of the window.

Note Note

The division among the batches is dependent on the value you specify for the Decimal Places Quantities field in the General Settings window.

End of the note.

Example Example

When a quantity of 100 items from the document is divided among 4 batches, each batch includes 25 items. The default value is one batch for the entire quantity from the document row.

If you divide the same quantity among 3 batches, the first two batches include 33.33 items, and the third includes 33.34 (if you set Decimal Places Quantities to 2).

End of the example.
