Default Batch Type for New Stock Items

When adding new stock records options are available to set default batch configuration settings when you mark an item for batch/serial tracking but you couldn’t set the system so that new stock items defaulted to being batch or serial tracked. New in Release 6.5 an option has been added to the Batch Tracking System Profiles to default new stock items to be batch/serial tracked.

Installation

System Profiles

To update the profiles select Installation from the main menu followed by Application Manager and System Profiles. Select the Batch Tracking application and the new option is available on the first parameter screen.

New Stock – Default Batch Type – set the default batch type to be applied when adding new stock records. Options available include S-Serial Tracked, B-Batch Tracked, M-Matrix and T-Template Matrix. Note that at run-time subsequent prompts for default batch format etc. are only applied when you confirm the batch type.
