Understanding Batch Version Specifications
Oracle JD Edwards EnterpriseOne batch versions read their specifications from the associated report template. Typically, any modifications that you make to a report template are read by all of the associated batch versions. The exception to this is a batch version in which you have overridden specifications.
Unlike other JD Edwards EnterpriseOne objects, you can submit the specifications of new and modified batch versions to the server without creating a package. However, the associated batch application must already be checked in.
