Some customers have noticed on newly updated software that the format of the Dispense/Return Batch Number has changed.
The old format was Dyydddxxx:
- D – batch number type: dispense
- yy – year
- ddd – day of year (1 – 365)
- xxx – dispense number for the day
The new format is DyyddNxxx
- D – batch number type: dispense
- yy – year
- dd – day of year using 0-9 and A-I
- N – dispenser number.
- xxx – dispense number for the day
This new format allows us to support multiple dispensers on a single installation of ColorPoint Manager by identifying the originating dispenser in the batch number. It also does not increase the length of the batch number. This is important where we print the batch number on labels as a barcode.
