Create a Batch

To create a batch:

1. Navigate to LIMS > Release Testing > Batches and click Create.

   

2. In Batch ID, enter a unique identifier for the batch.

3. Select the Material that you’re logging the batch against.

4. Select the Country and Manufacturing Site. These fields are optional, but it is best practice to enter them.

   

   Note A spec data mapping ties together a specific material, country, and manufacturing site. When you log a batch with that specific combination of values, the corresponding spec data mapping will automatically be assigned and it will create the necessary samples, tests, results, and criteria records.

5. Optionally, enter the External Batch ID, Amount, and Unit of Measure.

   

6. Optionally, enter the Manufacture Date, Expiration Date, and Due Date for the batch.

   

   Note To prepare for future trending capability coming in 2026, the Manufacture Date should be entered.
   Note If populated, the Due Date will cascade to the sample(s).

7. Click Save.

   

   The batch is created in the Active state and a Spec Execution record is created.
