How batching works: steps, charges, checks and records
1. Steps from the Formula
The formula and instructions set the step order, lines and in-process checks.
Whether a step can be skipped or changed follows your configured rules.
Operators see the current step.
- Grid only?
- Batches aren't only tracked on a board; each step is recorded.
Available workflows depend on your production set-up.

2. Charged Against the Lot
Every charged quantity is recorded against its source lot.
A second lot is recorded separately, keeping tracing accurate.
Where a second person is needed for a material, their sign-off follows your rules.
- Trace
- Lot records later let you trace forwards and back.
Second-person electronic signatures are Professional and Enterprise.

Every charge tied to its source lot.
3. Readings Against Tolerance
Where a scale is connected, readings are compared with the line's tolerance band.
In-process checks are recorded at their step.
Out-of-band results are recorded as exceptions for review.
- Devices
- See hardware & devices for supported connections.
Scale connections are configured per station; confirm your models with us during setup.

4. Batch record from what was done
Weights, checks, signatures and exceptions are recorded at the step.
Batch reporting draws on what was actually done.
A person reviews and decides release.

- See eBMR / eDHR for review.
What goes to your ERP depends on the configured integration.

Batching Inside Production
Formulas set the batch, dispensing and charges consume lots, and the record goes to review.

Weighing, Dispensing & Formulation Buyer Guide
Straight answers.
What buyers ask us first about Production & Planning.
Does V5 replace our planning spreadsheet?
Scheduling and MRP give planners a board and suggested orders to review. Planners still decide what to run and when.
Can operators work from a tablet at the line?
Yes. The operator kiosk runs on tablets and shows one step at a time, recording what was done as the work happens.
Which plan includes electronic batch records?
Electronic batch and device records with e-signatures start on Professional. See Compare details on the pricing page for the full list.
