# Create and manage a batch

> Register devices from a template, review the result, and add more units to the same batch.

Create a batch after preparing a [device template and matching firmware](/docs/fleet-batches/prepare). A batch groups device records for one production run.

## Before you start

Select the correct workspace and confirm that the template is available there. Your plan's remaining device allowance determines how many more devices you can register.

## Create devices

1. Open **Devices → Fleet Batches**.
2. Select **New batch**. This opens **Bulk Provisioning**.
3. Under **Device template**, select the template for your product.
4. Enter the number of devices you want to create. Review the available allowance shown in the form.
5. Under **Device name**, enter a base name, such as `TempMonitor`. Firmngin adds the unit number automatically.
6. Select **Create devices** and wait for **Batch result**.

For example, a base name of `TempMonitor` produces names such as `TempMonitor-001` and `TempMonitor-002`.

## Review the result

The result separates registered units from units that were not created:

| Result | Meaning |
| - | - |
| Created | The device record was created successfully. |
| Skipped (quota) | The device was not created because of the available plan allowance. |
| Failed | The device was not created successfully. |

Review the result before submitting another batch. If only some devices were created, those successful records already exist.

Select **View fleet batch** to return to the batch list.

## Follow factory setup

Expand a batch to see its device records. The factory status helps you follow each unit:

| Status | Meaning |
| - | - |
| Pending | Factory provisioning has not been recorded as complete. |
| In progress | The unit is currently assigned for factory setup. |
| Provisioned | Factory provisioning has been recorded as complete. |

**Provisioning remaining** shows how many registered units still lack completed factory provisioning.

These statuses describe factory setup. They do not replace checks that the physical product works correctly.

## Add more devices to the same batch

Review the template before adding more devices. New additions use the template's current version, which may differ from the version used for the earlier units.

1. Find the batch in **Fleet Batches**.
2. Select **Add devices**.
3. Enter **Count**, within the remaining allowance shown.
4. Select **Add**.

The device numbering continues automatically from the batch. Use this when you need more units in the same production run.

Continue to [Factory setup and unit checks](/docs/fleet-batches/factory-checks) to prepare the physical boards.
