When collectors send in their TISS forms and diagnostic green sheets, they include a "batch sent" number each week.  They keep a record of the batch sent, who sent it and on what date.
The purpose of batching:
*tracking and finding files quickly
*faster scanning (less organizing of forms)
*quick filing - no reorganizing.
 
In the first sending week of the New Year, the batch sent number is reverted back to start at one.
