Run the Batch Process

If a batch Calculation with the given settings for an item/stockkeeping unit already exists, this calculation is reused in the batch process.
All calculations created from the batch job are marked as Batch Item Standard Cost Calculation. This field is visible in the Calculations page using the Personalize feature, and on the Document FastTab of the Calculation Card using Show more.
Stockkeeping units are updated according to the parameters set for transferring the standard cost to the stockkeeping unit.
