    Good Day,

    For the AP module, when creating an AP Transaction Entry Batch, is anyone familiar with the Batch Control feature?

    This is something that I like to learn more about, but unfortunately there is limited documentation for this specific control in AP.

    Any helpful insights are appreciated.

    Best Regards,

    Christine Polifka

    Christine,

    the Batch Trx count and Batch Amount fields are controlled by the Posting Setup for that transaction type (Purchasing > Payables Trx Entry)

    Mostly Clients don’t bother using it because you just need to type the totals displayed to the side on the same window.

    Any other questions?

    As most clients do not use this feature, what do they use to ensure to verify the Payables TRX entry total Batch amounts are correct?

    Would this be a better option for payables as it possible could be used if the Batch Amounts are verified and correct to avoid voiding, reentry, overpayment, other issues?

    If an incorrect dollar is manual entered, and the total batch is off and it post, then it could cause Finacial impact, other issues as well later for the company

    Just some thoughts

    Oh – I agree. But GP displays the totals to be entered on the same window so there isn’t a lot of “protection” by enabling the “feature” IMHO. Users don’t need to calculate the totals, they just need to re-enter the displayed totals.

    Like many things in GP, it is what it is. <shrug>
