How Batch Orders Work

Batching is the tool to reach for any time you need to do the same thing to a whole group of orders at once instead of opening them one at a time. With a single batch you can:

• Export files from every order using one of your exporters
• Print an output page  like a Packing Slip, Pick List, or Invoice — for every order in one combined PDF
• Update a labor process, which is also a quick way to mass-update order status

You can even combine these in a single batch run — for example, export your cut files and print packing slips and bump the labor process forward, all from one click.

Create a Batch

Head to the Orders tab and choose Batch Orders. You'll land on a page that lists all of your current order batches.

Orders ➡️ Batch Orders

To start a fresh batch, click Add Batch in the bottom corner of the page. This brings you to a page where you can filter down your orders and choose what action to run.

Once you're in a new batch, you can narrow the order list down using filters so you're only working with the orders you actually want. Filters include:

• Ordered, Verified, or Shipped Date
• Order Status
• Order Tags — with the option to match orders that HAVE the tags, have ALL of the tags, or have NONE of the tags

After filtering, check the box next to each order you want to include — or use select all — to build your batch.

Batch Options: Choose your Action

With your orders selected, move to the Batch Options section. This is where you indicate what to do with the batch. You can pick one action or stack several together:

Update a labor process:

Apply a labor process to every order in the batch. This is a great way to mass-update order status, especially if your labor process is set to Auto-Update to a new order status.

Export files with an exporter:

Choose one of your exporters and batch an export file from every order in the batch in one shot. (For more on this, see Exporting Multiple Order Exports at Once.)

Batch Print an output page:

Pick an output page — such as a Packing Slip, Pick List, or Invoice — and Allmoxy will generate it for every order in the batch as a single, ready-to-print PDF. More on this in the next section.

Tips & Tricks

• Name your batches. This makes saved batches much easier to find later — especially if you keep several recurring batches going for different parts of your workflow.
• One output page per run. Batch Print handles a single output page at a time — pick the page you need, run it, and run another action on the batch batch if you need a different page. (This works the same way as exporting, where you run one exporter at a time.)
• It plays nicely with your other batch actions. You can print an output page alongside an export and a labor process update in the same batch run.
• B2B works just like always. Output pages behave in a batch exactly as they do everywhere else for B2B orders.
• You'll know if anything was skipped. If a particular order can't produce the selected output page, the batch lets you know which orders were affected instead of failing silently — so nothing slips through unnoticed.
