|  | Batch Execution
 | ||
|  | ===============
 | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | Often the user will have made an Ordering batch and added items to it
 | ||
|  | "manually" when assembling their order.
 | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | But in some cases the PO data will have been imported from some other
 | ||
|  | system, or perhaps a CSV file, with the goal being just to get it into
 | ||
|  | the POS system.
 | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | Regardless of how the batch data was obtained (e.g. from file, or user
 | ||
|  | input), ultimately the batch will be executed.  So what does that do?
 | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | This basically depends on what you need it to do...  For instance in
 | ||
|  | the CSV file example just mentioned, if your goal is merely to get the
 | ||
|  | PO data into the POS system, then that's what executing the batch
 | ||
|  | should do.
 | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | It is possible also to make batch execution actually "submit"
 | ||
|  | (e.g. email) the purchase order to the vendor, although this is less
 | ||
|  | common in practice.
