Procedure documentationUpdating Batch Numbers for an Item

 

You can update the details for existing batch managed items using the Batch Management – Update window.

In addition, you can enter batches for the received items if you did not do so while generating documents. However, this is only possible if your company allows the receipt of items to inventory without a batch number.

Note Note

When you save a document as a draft, if serial or batch numbers were created or selected, those numbers are saved in the database. However, they are ignored elsewhere in SAP Business One, and are not allocated to the related document.

When a regular document is created from the draft, you can verify the selection or creation of the serial or batch numbers, as in any regular document

End of the note.

For information about how to find and update a specific batch number without reference to a specific item, see Viewing and Updating Batch Numbers Based on Specific Batch Number.
