Customer Entry Batch Update Report ranges and options

There are no ranges for this report.

Options

Batch Name

Specify the name of the batch file to be processed. The batch name must be valid, exist in Customer Batch Setup, and be an Accounts Receivable batch.

Posting Date

Specify the date to assign to each transaction that is written to the Customer Transaction Entry file, or leave the default of today's date. The posting date is used to update the invoice date for each transaction if the invoice date was left blank when the transaction was originally entered. If an invoice date already exists on a batch transaction, the posting date is not used.

If updating into a previous period, leave the posting date as today's date. This helps keep an audit trail of the sequence of postings. A posting date outside of the posting period causes balancing problems when you run the Customer Trial Balance Report or Customer Balancing Audit Report.

You can specify a number between-1 and -7 in the day field to go back up to 7 days. For example, if you specify **/-7/**, the current date less 7 days is used for the date.

Period

Specify the calendar period to be updated. The current calendar period is the default value. To specify a previous period, specify a negative number.

Print All Records? (If 'No' Only Errors)

Select Yes to view all transactions that were updated. If the batch is large, this report can be extensive.

Select No to view only those transactions with errors.

Update? (If 'No', List & Error Check)

Select Yes to update the batch to Accounts Receivable and General Ledger.

Select No to only list and error check the transactions currently in the batch.

The errors that are listed in the Description column are those that are checked for each transaction in the batch.

Delete After Update? (Type 'O' Only)

Select Yes to delete the entire batch record, both the header and the transactions, after the update of a one-time batch is completed.

Select No to keep the header record. Because the batch is a one-time batch, the transactions are deleted.

After the Customer Entry Batch Update Report is complete, the Last Posted By Operator Initials, Date, and Time fields in the batch header file are updated. The Proof Debits and Proof Credits fields are cleared for one-time batches, but remain for recurring batches.
