To review print batch information

You can review the status of delivery documents sent to print and view additional details about a batch.

On Document Print Batch Inquiry

  1. Complete the following field:

    Business Unit

  2. Accept the entry.

    The program displays information for documents that are printing or are in a pending status.

  3. To review additional information, choose the Batch Details option for the batch.

    The Document Print Control window opens.

Field Explanation
Business Unit (* = all) An alphanumeric field that identifies a separate entity within a business for which you want to track costs. For example, a business unit might be a warehouse location, job, project, work center, or branch/plant.

You can assign a business unit to a voucher, invoice, fixed asset, and so on, for purposes of responsibility reporting. For example, the system provides reports of open accounts payable and accounts receivable by business units to track equipment by responsible department.

Security for this field can prevent you from locating business units for which you have no authority.

Note: The system uses this value for Journal Entries if you do not enter a value in the AAI table.

Form-specific information

Indicates the depot where the documents were printed. Use an asterisk (*) to view documents for all depots.


To restart the print batch

When you print delivery documents interactively during load confirmation or during document reprint, you can exit the program without selecting the option to print if any of the documents requires prenumbered forms. Then, the Document Print Control List Window displays, allowing you to choose to print now or print later. This puts the delivery documents in a pending state for printing later.

To print delivery documents, you must specify the next document number and restart the printing process.
