Understanding Batch Control

Batch control can help you manage the entry process. With batch control activated, you specify the number of documents and the total amount that you expect to enter in a batch. Then when you exit the last document in the batch, a form displays any differences between the expected and actual totals. Instead of reviewing each document individually, you can quickly determine whether the number of documents and total amount entered is correct or requires further review and possible revision.

Batch control is for your information only. The system does not prevent you from posting a batch if differences exist between the amounts that you entered and the amounts that you expected.

You activate batch control by system in the constants for AR, AP, and GL.

Batch control information is stored in the Batch Control Records table (F0011).
