Review the audit record for a manufacturing batch exported to an external process or file.
## At a glance
- **Identify it by:** **Success**, **Manufacturing Instance**, **Software**, and **File Path**.
- **Check its business context:** **Manufacturing Instance**.
- **Why care:** Confirm item, formula, unit, warehouse, quantity, and production state together; mistakes can distort both material consumption and finished-goods cost.
## Before you begin
You need the Brisk permission for the action you are taking on batch export records. If a Create, Edit, or Delete control is absent, do not work around it with another user’s account; ask an administrator to review your role.
Find and review batch export records
The Batch Export Records list screen in the Brisk documentation demo.
Use the Batch Export Records list to find the correct record before opening or changing it. Compare **Success**, **Manufacturing Instance**, **Software**, and **File Path**. Records with similar names or numbers can still belong to different **Manufacturing Instance**.
- Keyword search checks **Software**, **File Path**, and **Message**.
- The date filter uses **Date Created**; choose a range that matches the business event you are reconciling.
Open the Batch Export Record whose **Success**, **Manufacturing Instance**, **Software**, and **File Path** match the task. If it is missing, clear the list filters and recheck **Date Created** rather than creating a replacement immediately.
## Fields and business rules
Brisk stores 5 user-relevant fields for this Batch Export Record, including 1 linked-record selection and 0 controlled-choice fields. Create and edit screens may hide calculated or workflow-managed values from this full reference.
| Field | Required | What it controls |

| **Success** | No | Indicates whether or not the import was successful. |
| **Manufacturing Instance** | No | The manufacturing instance associated with this batch export record. |
| **Software** | Yes | Indicates which software this import file was pulled from. |
| **File Path** | Yes | Indicates the local path from which the import file was read. |

## What happens next
Use **Manufacturing Instance** to interpret this Batch Export Record. If it records a failure or exception, correct the source process and create a new successful event rather than rewriting the audit trail.
## Common mistakes and troubleshooting
- **The record will not save:** Recheck **Software**, **File Path**, and **Message** and any message beside the field. A required related record may also be inactive or unavailable to your role.
- **The values look right but the result is wrong:** Open **Manufacturing Instance** from the detail page. Correct the specific relationship that is wrong instead of forcing a total or status to compensate for it.
