Understanding G/L Batches for Revenue Recognition

You use the Batch Review program (P48221) to access all batches in the billing system. You select the batch of transactions to prepare it for further processing. Processing options are available to enable you to set up default versions for the batch processing.

Note: If you delete a batch, the system does not keep an audit trail for the batch number, which comes from the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Foundation system (system 00).

To maintain the integrity of batch processing in the billing system, the system updates the current activity of the batch header record while the batch is actively being processed. For example, when you select a batch and run the Journal Edit Register program (R48300), the system updates the current activity to indicate that the batch is actively being processed. This prevents others from accessing this batch until the Journal Edit Register program has finished processing, at which time the system resets the current activity to 0. The batch is then available for subsequent processing.
