Create your orders batch file based on the date of the order. You specify the beginning and ending date and name the batch, this module will do the rest. It finds orders which have not already been batched and that fall within the date range you specified. Many people fill orders from the merchant notification email and infrequently look in the order processing section to review a detail about the order. Hence, they do not bother to batch daily. This module allows you to maintain your batches in a logical, historical manner (e.g. by month), much like the file cabinet in your office without having to run the batch at a specific time or date.
