**//Convertor//** \\
The data is stored in the database as text. The system needs to know what type to convert it to. This can be set with the convertor. \\
Possible values:
  * Int
  * String
  * Date
  * Double
  * List

**//Sequence//** \\
The sequence of the defined batch attribute types in the Batch Attribute Code drop-down menu.

**//The key for translation//** \\
The key that will be used for the translation of the title. When this is not set, the system will use MSG_TITLE_BATCH_ATTRIBUTE.<Code of the batch attribute>.
In case there is only 1 language in the company, a title can be entered here directly.



A list of possible batch attributes that can be linked to an item. \\
Some predefined codes have been added:
  * COUNTRY_OF_ORIGIN: Country of origin
  * MANUFACTURING_DATE: Manufacturing date

When custom batch attribute types are added, a translation should be added to the system. This translation is used on a device when entering the batch attributes. \\
The translation node for COUNTRY_OF_ORIGIN looks like:
<code>
<PmxLocalizationKey>
    <Canceled>False</Canceled>
    <LocalizationKey>MSG_TITLE_BATCH_ATTRIBUTE.COUNTRY_OF_ORIGIN</LocalizationKey>
    <ApplicationTypeCode>SLIM_SCR</ApplicationTypeCode>
    <LocalizationProperties>
      <PmxLocalizationProperty>
        <Canceled>False</Canceled>
        <LocalizationProperty />
        <ExtensionCode>CONVSTR</ExtensionCode>
        <LocalizationValues>
          <PmxLocalizationValue>
            <Canceled>False</Canceled>
            <LocalizationValue>Enter the country of origin</LocalizationValue>
            <LanguageCode>3</LanguageCode>
          </PmxLocalizationValue>
          <PmxLocalizationValue>
            <Canceled>False</Canceled>
            <LocalizationValue>Vul het land van herkomst in</LocalizationValue>
            <LanguageCode>16</LanguageCode>
          </PmxLocalizationValue>
        </LocalizationValues>
      </PmxLocalizationProperty>
    </LocalizationProperties>
  </PmxLocalizationKey>
</code>

The LocalizationKey starts with ‘MSG_TITLE_BATCH_ATTRIBUTE.’ \\
Add the code of the attribute type at the end.

When making a complete valid translation file to import, make sure the root tags are also added:
<code>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TestRoot>
</TestRoot>
</code>

**//AI//** \\
The application identifier. It allows a scanned value from a barcode to be automatically stored in the batch attributes.
