Batch Execution

Often the user will have made an Ordering batch and added items to it “manually” when assembling their order.

But in some cases the PO data will have been imported from some other system, or perhaps a CSV file, with the goal being just to get it into the POS system.

Regardless of how the batch data was obtained (e.g. from file, or user input), ultimately the batch will be executed. So what does that do?

This basically depends on what you need it to do… For instance in the CSV file example just mentioned, if your goal is merely to get the PO data into the POS system, then that’s what executing the batch should do.

It is possible also to make batch execution actually “submit” (e.g. email) the purchase order to the vendor, although this is less common in practice.
