2. Select Plants from the File Maintenance menu.
3. For each plant that will send tickets to the batch control:

• Click on the Devices tab
• Check the box next to the batch control you just created

1. Using Ticket Printing, select a plant that you chose to send tickets to the batch control. Enter a manual ticket and key in a single product (it would be helpful if this product also exists on the batch control.) Print the ticket. You should see activity on the batch control.
2. After testing, go back into Device Maintenance and add the following parameter to the end of the Device Configuration box:

	ProductClass=nn,nn,nn... 

This indicates that only products in one of the listed product classes will be sent to the batch control. Other products will not.
