Batch Record Completion at 71% target record completion: a worked example

Suppose target record completion falls to 71%. This page works the full calculation at that level so you can see exactly which result moves and by how much. Calculate batch record completion rate from completed batch records, total required records, and target completion percentage.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Completed batch record items: 92 records (held at the documented default)
  • Required batch record items: 100 records (held at the documented default)
  • Target record completion: 71 % (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 98)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Batch Record Completion = completed batch record items ÷ required batch record items × 100.
  • batch record completion works out to 92 % at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • batch record completion gap to target works out to -21 points at these inputs.
  • completed batch record items works out to 92 count at these inputs.
  • required batch record items works out to 100 count at these inputs.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where target record completion sits at 98% and the headline result is 92 %, this scenario lands almost exactly on the baseline at 92 %.
  • It divides completed batch record items by required items and reports the percentage plus the point gap to your release target. When the numbers land here, the stressed input is the lever to work; the walkthrough above shows exactly how much each output recovers as it climbs back toward the baseline.

Results at a glance

  • batch record completion: 92 % (headline result)
  • batch record completion gap to target: -21 points
  • completed batch record items: 92 count
  • required batch record items: 100 count
