Reviewing Control Information for a Batch

On the Batch Control form, review amounts in these fields:

  • Total Expected Amount

  • Total Expected Documents

  • Total Entered Amount

  • Total Entered Documents

    If you did not enter information on the Batch Control form before you entered transactions, the system displays negative numbers in the Difference row for Amount and Documents. The Batch Control form always uses this formula: Total Expected minus Total Entered. If you do not complete the Total Expected fields, the system assumes zero and your difference is negative. If you are not using batch control, or if you do not enter a total expected amount, the system compares the total amount of the transactions you enter to zero and displays the difference as a negative number.

    The batch review screen is used by many systems. As a result, some fields might not apply to batches created in a particular system.
