Watch how to use batch numbers to track products and materials

Video: Batch tracking and expiry dates

Full traceability from purchasing to manufacturing to sales

Batch tracking can be switched ON and OFF at the item level

Assign batch numbers to items that you are purchasing with Purchase Orders

If you have enabled batch tracking for ingredient(s) you can select specific batches

Track items when they are sold or used in manufacturing

Switch on batch tracking for a product used in a subassembly

Use the Shop Floor App to directly report batch numbers

Revert any MO from a Done status back to Not Started or Work in progress

If you are selling products that have batch tracking enabled, a batch must be assigned to the Sales items on a SO

Information about batches can be accessed from Stock screen > Batches tab

Use our import template to bulk add your batches to Katana

A certain quantity of stock for a batch-trackable item might belong to an "unbatched" batch

If a batch has a zero quantity of items, it is called an empty batch

You can also create new batches when adding items to your stock with a Stock adjustment

If you've created more than one Location on your Katana account, you can transfer stock from one location to another

You can enable and disable batch tracking functionality in Katana at an item level

Disabling batch tracking functionality will delete existing batch tracking information from Katana for that item
