Documentation

Definition

Indicates the batch number of the mass change resulting from the batch corrections that you have made.

Use

During mass maintenance changes, some fields might have been modified with incorrect entries. Those errors should be corrected.

Those corrections sometimes contain errors of their own. When you save a mass change after corrections, the Next Mass Change Key will give you a batch number. That number identifies the next mass change resulting from the job that you saved. That number enables you to check whether your changes were saved successfully, and correct the new errors that might have been detected.
