====== Batch Number Support======

=====Batch number format=====
Produmex WMS supports batch numbers containing alphanumeric characters. Only upper case letters are allowed in batch numbers in order to avoid double creation of batch id's when receiving the same batch in lower and upper case. \\ \\
While the WMS Transaction Notification is activated, it is not possible to take into stock a batch number that contains lower case letters. Make sure that you convert the batch number letters to upper case when using the WMS add-on.


===== Transaction management methods =====

Produmex WMS supports batch numbers with the On Every Transaction management method. 
  * It is mandatory to define the batch number for the item in inventory receipt and inventory issue documents. 
  * It is also mandatory to provide the batch number of the item whenever the item is moved. 

Produmex WMS does not support batch numbers with On Release Only management method.

===== Batch attributes=====

If an item has a batch number, a second batch number or BBD, the system can ask for batch attributes during reception and production.

To define batch attributes go to Master Data window > Produmex tab > Attributes tab.
