Connecting process batch inflow

The Connect Process Batch Inflow option is accessed from the Batches menu. Using this option, you can empty the tank batches into a single process batch. You can control the sequence of emptying the tank batch emptying and the quantity that you want to take from each tank batch.
  1. Select a process batch with coupled inflow shortage on the planning board.
  2. Select Batches > Connect Process Batch Inflow. The Connect Process Batch Inflow window is displayed.

    Note: 
    • You can only connect one product. If you select a different product, the window is reset for the new product.
    • After you have selected the coupled inflow product with inflow shortage, the tank batches with valid surplus are displayed. These tank batches are ordered by the end of the filling, standing, or offset time.
