The Batches tab in the Stock screen is your central hub for managing inventory tracked by batches. It displays all active batches for both products and materials where batch tracking is enabled, helping you stay organized and maintain traceability across your stock.
Accessing and navigating the batches list
To view the list:
Go to the Stock screen.
Click the Batches tab.
By default, the list shows only batches with a positive quantity. You can toggle the view to include empty batches using the switch in the top-right corner of the screen.
Note: Expired batches are hidden from the list until all unexpired batches are shown. This helps reduce clutter and improve search relevance.
What you’ll see in the batches list
Each batch entry includes:
Batch number
Expiration date
Created date
You may also see batches labeled "Unbatched", which appear if they contain either a positive or negative quantity.
Editing batch information
You can update the following for any existing batch:
Batch number
Barcode
Expiration date
To edit a batch:
Click directly into the field you want to change.
Make your edit.
Press Enter or click outside the field to save.
You cannot edit information for “Unbatched” batches. These represent stock added before batch tracking was enabled. Learn how to assign unbatched items to specific batches.
Note: Editing a batch's details does not create a new batch — it simply updates the existing one.
Summary
The Batches list gives you detailed oversight of batch-tracked inventory. You can edit batch information (except for unbatched entries), apply filters, and include empty or expired batches, maintaining full control and visibility over your stock movements.
