Understanding the Batch Review Program

After you enter transactions into the system, you might want to review or revise them before you post them to the general ledger. Depending on whether the constants for AR, AP, and GL require management approval of batches, you also might need to approve the batches.

You use the same batch review program to review and approve any type of transaction batch online; therefore, the process to review and approve batches is the same, regardless of the system. The only difference among the various batch review programs in the Fundamentals Management systems is the name of the menu selection and form and the default batch type, which displays on the initial form called Work With Batches. The Work With Batches form displays information from the Batch Control Records table (F0011).

You can review any batch type from any batch review program. Because invoices and vouchers are two-sided entries, you can review the invoice or voucher as well as the GL distribution after accessing the batch review program.
