The Big Picture of Form Control

The base product's standard set of form processing batch jobs are configured by default to process all tax and registration forms received. Any form that passes validation is processed through to Posted if all the batch processes are run. The batch processes support input parameters to process only forms of certain form type or for a certain batch header ID, but this is considered unusual and not part of standard production nightly processing.

There are some implementations that want to control volumes of tax forms that are posted and prefer to select which tax forms should be posted. In addition, certain implementations may choose to hold off on processing a certain set of tax forms. The product provides an object called Form Control that may be used by implementations that prefer to work this way. The topics in this section provide more information about form control records.

Note: The form control functionality does not apply to registration forms, only to tax forms.
