The following describes how to update the batch. Updating the batch means to update the batch data into the journal and then close the batch. A batch can be updated only if there are no errors in the batch data. If there are errors, which is indicated by the error code on Work with open batches, then the batch data must be corrected before it can be updated or set to status 4 (Deleted).

  1. Select the Work with open batches menu item.
  2. You access the main panel. Automatically created batches and manually created batches are updated in the same manner, i.e. by using option Update. If the error code is blank for the batch this indicates that the batch is error free. Select the batch and click Update.
  3. You access Work with open batches, Update. This panel displays a list of the batch transactions that belong to the batch you selected to update and which will be posted with the same journal number.
  4. You can select a list of printouts to be printed upon batch update. These printouts are defined in the batch list profile which is shown in the panel header. You can specify a different batch list profile or change the printout selection for the current batch list profile, i.e. SYSTEM. Here, click Change batch list.

  5. You access Work with batches, Change batch list. This panel displays the following columns:
  6. Printout
    This column lists the descriptions of available printout programs according to the batch list profile.
    Active
    Indicates if the printout is activated for the batch list profile.

    You can choose to activate or inactivate a printout by selecting the applicable option. After you have activated the printouts that you need, click OK.

  7. You access Work with batches, Update again. To update the batch, click OK.
  8. You access the Print control. Enter the applicable printing parameters and click OK. The batch is submitted for update and is no longer available for maintenance on Work with open batches. Exit the routine.
