A batch is a subdivision of your stock of a material

and the used ingredients. It is very hard to reproduce the same color in
exactly the same way at two different moments.

content.
You can search batches using the standard search facility (match code, key F4) based on the naming convention of the batches or, if you use batch classification, based on the characteristics of the batches.
