Notice that deposit amount is mandatory for this function. However a batch selection of 5 would not generally be expected to have a single amount. In order to proceed, a placeholder value must be entered and "Confirm transaction on saving" left unselected. Upon saving, the transactions will have pending status and the .csv file created via Manage Inventory>Transactions>Export Transactions can be edited to contain the true measured amounts (See above, Pending Transaction Updates). The impact of accidental confirmation of "placeholder" values can be minimized by making the placeholder value very small.
