It is a more complex version of the [[items:splitting_a_stock_line|split functionality]] and will allow you to handle several batches at a time.

 Note that repacks of different sizes may be created at this stage - e.g. 5,000 Paracetamol tablets may be repacked into 40x50 and 30x100. The **Sell price**, the **Batch number** and the **New Location** are automatically completed, but all these fields may be edited as required. Note that repacks of different sizes may be created at this stage - e.g. 5,000 Paracetamol tablets may be repacked into 40x50 and 30x100.
