6 Work with Invoice Entry Controls
This chapter contains these topics:
6.1 Working with Invoice Entry Controls
Before entering invoices, you can activate two control features to help manage your invoice entry process:
-
Batch control
-
Two-cycle entry
6.2 About Batch Control
The following describes why you would set up batch control and when you would use it.
6.2.1 Why Would You Set Up Batch Control?
Use batch control to verify that the batch of invoices you enter into the system balances to a manual record of the batch. You activate batch control in the Accounts Receivable constants. Batch control information is stored in the Batch Control table (F0011).

6.2.2 When Do You Use Batch Control?
If you set the appropriate A/R constant, the system displays a screen that you use to enter information about your invoices before you actually enter them. Once you enter the information, the system compares the control totals with the actual totals you entered for the batch. If the totals are not the same, it displays the difference.

| Topic | Description |
|---|---|
| Posting batches that are out of balance | If the amount entered differs from the amount expected, the system does not prevent you from posting the batch. |
| Multi-Currency batch totals | If you enter transactions of different currencies into the same batch, the total entered is a hash total. |
