Dear Goutham

Assume you are manufacturing some 20 products in a plant. There will be some production lot say 5 nos.which we can call as one production lot. This production lot will be batch lot. In case of serial number, you will assign a serial number for each and every 5 nos.

In short, batch can be referred to couple of materials whereas, serial number refers to one piece of material.

thanks
