Batch Distributions

Enter multiple distributions from a pantry.  Typically the participants collecting food from a pantry location are part of a food program and will return at periodic intervals for their food supplies.  To make data entry easy an option for Batch Distributions has been provided.  For a given date that you want to create the batch distribution for and the location at which the distribution occurred; the system will display a list of all participant names that have collected food in the past 30 days at that location.  Users can fill out the product and quantity details for each participant and save.  Distribution entries will be created for each participant selected.
