4 Manage Transactions
The Transaction Maintenance module allows you to investigate and correct errors in the external system transactions. You can review the transactions that were flagged by the automated audit process.
Transactions may have many types of errors, which need to be reviewed and corrected manually. In addition, it is also possible to review and edit the data from missing transactions or transactions that have passed the automated audit. Corrected transactions are exported to external systems by a batch program.
You can use the Transaction Maintenance window to view, create, and edit transactions.
