Workflows > Batch Edit Containers
When containers are created as the result of a single receipt, they are assigned to a Receipt Lot. The lot stores information about all of the containers, and through the lot, all containers can be edited. Modifying the containers as a group like this is referred to as Batch Editing.

The batch edit page for containers can be accessed via the Receipt Lot Details page, which itself is accessed by clicking the receipt lot number on the container information page.
