Batch number
Another name for a lot number, most used for the units made in one production run.
Batch and lot mean almost the same thing. Batch is more common in food, pharmacy and manufacturing, for one production run; lot is often used for goods received or sold together. On a label you may see LOT, L, BATCH or B before the code.
In practice both are handled the same way: record the code when stock is made or arrives, keep it with the expiry date, and note which batch went to which customer. In Binhop, making an item from its recipe creates a new lot and records which material lots went into it.
