titleSpecial note regarding Batch Packing Orders

There is a 1,000 order record limit for the batch packing of order. So, if you are going over that limit you'll need to process some orders to get under the record limit or create a new shipping distribution center and move some of the order over into that DC in the meantime. (For example of you have a lot of back orders that are being held for a period of time before processing for shipment.)

Batch Processing Orders for Reprinting

If, for some reason, you need to reprocessing a batch of orders due to a problem with printing of the a batch of orders. You can do so by using the Batch Order Operations 'Move' operation.

If you process large batches, you may need to first generate the "Packed By' report in order to identify the orders that need to be moved back to Shipping department for reprocessing.
