Batch transaction processing (Sales Ledger)

To process a batch

Open: Sales Ledger > Enter Transactions > Batched Transactions or

Open: Sales Ledger > Enter Transactions > Batched Transactions Manager.

Note: If you are using the Batched Transactions Manager you will be able to add transactions to any batch, and edit, delete or commit batches and batch transactions created by anyone.

1. Create a batch header.

   Open: Sales Ledger > Enter Transactions > Batched Transactions or

   Open: Sales Ledger > Enter Transactions > Batched Transactions Manager.

   1. Click New in the Batch headers section.

   2. Enter the details of the batch:

      Batch Title	Enter a description of the batch.
      Batch type	Select the type of transactions from the drop-down list. All transactions in the batch must be the same type.
      Number of entries	Enter the expected number of transactions.
      Batch total	Enter the expected total values of the transactions.

   3. Click OK to save the batch details.

      You are returned to the Batch Transactions window. The details that you have entered can be seen in the top half of the Batch Transactions window.

2. Enter the details for each transaction in a batch.

   1. Select the batch from the list of headers.
   2. In the Batch transactions section of the window, click Add.

   Depending on the transaction type you have selected, the relevant window is displayed. Enter the details of each transaction. This is the same as entering the following transactions:

   • Invoice.
   • Credit Note.
   • Receipt.
   • Invoice Opening Balance.
   • Credit Note Opening Balance.

   Note: You cannot allocate receipts using Batched Transactions.

   3. Click Close once you have finished entering transactions. The transaction details are added to the bottom half of the window.
3. Print the details of any transactions held in the batch (optional).
4. If required, and the batch has not been committed to the Sales Ledger, you can edit batches and their transactions.

   When you edit a batch header, you must make sure that the expected number of transactions and their total value, matches the values for all transactions in the list. You can also change the batch title.

   1. To edit the batch header, select the batch from the Batch headers list and click Edit.
   2. To edit the transaction details:
      • Select the transaction from the Batch transactions for ... list, and click Edit.
5. If required and the batch has not been committed to the Sales Ledger, you can delete batches and their transactions.

   If you delete a whole batch, this deletes the batch header and all transactions in the batch.

   If you delete transactions from a batch, you must make sure that the remaining transactions and their total value matches the values in the header for the batch.

   1. To delete the batch header and all transactions in the batch, select the batch from the Batch headers list and click Delete.
   2. To delete a transaction from within a batch:
      1. Select the batch from the Batch headers list.
      2. Select the transaction from the Batch transactions for ... list, and click Delete.
6. Commit a batch.

   1. Select the completed batch from the list of batch headers.

   2. To post all the transactions in the batch to the Sales Ledger, click Commit.

      The number of expected transactions and their combined values is checked against the actual transactions in the list. If the values do not match, the batch is not committed.

      To resolve this, you can either edit the transactions in the batch list on an individual basis, or edit the total values you specified for the batch.
