Batches and Items

Use batches to represent production runs or to generate item-level DPPs when each unit needs its own QR code.

tip

Note: If GS1 Digital Link is enabled for your organisation, a batch/lot identifier field also appears here.

What batches are for​

  • Group identical items from a single production run.
  • Choose whether to issue one DPP per batch or one DPP per item.
  • Track batch- or item-specific events (e.g., recycling, refurbishment).

Create a batch​

Steps​

  1. Open the Model Overview for the relevant product.
  2. Select Actions › Add New Batch. You can also select Quick Actions › Add Batch in the Products list.
  3. Complete the batch fields from the template, for example:
    • Batch name
    • Quantity
    • Location
    • Weight (if applicable)
  4. Choose:
    • DPP per item – creates one QR per item, or
    • One DPP for the batch – single QR shared by all items.
  5. Select Create Batch, then confirm any summary dialog displayed.

You can now use the same model to create multiple batches that share most data but differ in a few specific fields, instead of duplicating models for every variation.
