Batch Numbers
They are generated as follows
[Month] - [year-2 digits]-[date-2 digits]-[batch number of the day] So Months are like this.
A = January
B = Feb
C = March
D = April
E = May
F = June
G = July
H = August
I = Sept
J = Oct
K = Nov
L = Dec
M NOT VALID
N NOT VALID
and so on… With this we have the capacity to do up to 999 batches every day and keep them all totally separate.
That means a batch labeled L1610002 would have been made on December the 10th 2016 and was the second batch of the day.
