Having the ability to specify a container from a specific batch needs to be picked for an order, but not necessarily the specific container code. This would allow a sales team to allocate the freshest stock to an order (perhaps for export), without needing to assign a container code which may be inaccessible, as it might be in the middle of a pallet. The picking team would then select a keg from the correct batch to fulfil the delivery. ---

it is very common that a batch might be requested for an order - but out of 15 pallets of cask it would be almost impossible to locate a specified containers - specifying a batch only would be essential for us. thanks ---

Great news, everyone; this is ready for use 🎉 To find out how this works, please see this help guide: > [@How to pre-assign a batch of stock to an order without choosing specific containers until later](https://community.breww.com/t/how-to-pre-assign-a-batch-of-stock-to-an-order-without-choosing-specific-containers-until-later/3431): > > When managing your deliveries, you can assign specific stock (such as specific kegs) to a delivery. Sometimes, at the point of ordering, you will want to choose which batch of stock must be used to fulfil the delivery but don’t yet know which specific cask/keg numbers will be used. Following the implementation of [this feature request](https://community.breww.com/t/allocate-a-beer-batch-not-a-specific-keg-cask-to-an-order-at-the-point-of-ordering-in-advance-of-assigning-stock-to-the-delivery/2796), Breww now supports this workflow. To set the allowed batches to use, you should first add the product to the order. Then use the edit button: Next, us… Thank you to everyone who voted and helped to bring this to fruition! ---
