Manually modify consumed batch

Change the consumed batch #

Note: Once a batch has been assigned to an order, changing the assigned batch can only be done if the WooCommerce order status is set to “On-Hold”. In this WooCommerce order status, product stock is consumed, so a batch is assigned to the relevant product.

  • Change order status to ‘On-hold’.
  • Edit the product with a batch assigned to it.

The order notes should display:

  • a batch stock increase for the removed batch.
  • a batch stock reduction for the newly assigned batch.

This requires a setting to be active, at Products > Batch Numbers > Options > General > Register to order notes.
