The New Batch creation window is used to enter relevant details regarding the batch of items that you wish to scan and archive and is accessed via the the ‘New Batch’ button on the Process Control screen’s main toolbar.

At the top of the window, the ‘Batch Type Listing’ displays a inventory of each batch type available for selection.  The batch you select from this list determines the batch attributes or fields that are presented for data entry.  Batch types are created or edited via the Batch Type wizard.

The fields available for entering batch relevant details are; Clearing Date, Batch Quantity and Batch Amount (for batch balancing purposes). The Clearing date can be set to automatically enter the correct processing date, to while an easy-to-use popup Calendar makes further changes to the clearing date a breeze.  An alpha-numeric Batch Reference field is also available in order to quickly apply free form information to all items within the batch.  

Once the appropriate batch details have been entered, the new batch will appear on the Process Control screen, ready for the next step in the process… Scanning.
