Description
Batch Management incorporates the entire logistics process, from procurement to sales. It is closely linked with classification, but can also be used without classification. Batch Management is defined as tagging a produced or procured material with a unique 10-digit alphanumeric code. Every batch number can have an inventory quantity associated with it. The batch number generated for the material quantity helps with uniquely sorting the material inventory and stores the characteristics values, or the chemical composition, or the product specifications at the time of its production or procurement.
