Single and Multi-batch Process
There are two kinds of batch processes in the application: multi-batch and single batch.
- Multi-batch processes can have multiple batches being processed at one time. The open batches in a process will not affect each other.
- Single batch processes can have only one open batch in the process at a time.
In multi-batch processes (for example, AP> Invoices, PR> Computer Checks and UB> New Billing), you can create as many batches as you would like in the process. Each batch will contain its own transactions and will not affect the other batches in the process. You can select any open batch in the process by selecting a batch from the batch number drop-down menu at the top of the palette.
In single batch processes (for example, AP 1099s and AP/PR Void Checks), you can have only one open batch at a time in the process. If there is an open batch in the process, you will not be able to create a new batch. If you would like to create a new batch, you can either delete the existing batch (highlight the batch in the batch number drop-down menu at the top of the palette) or you can return to the first step of the process and overwrite the information that is already in the palette. If there isn't an open batch in the process, you will be able to create a batch just like in a multi-batch process. If you were a user of Version 6.05, the single batch process replaces the blanket batch process (999.99.9999).
