Budget edit batch processing

Multiple async requests increase the processing time of budget editing due to the sweep time between requests. When the budget batch edit is run, multiple documents are queued in a single async request. Use Budget Edit Batch to process multiple budget edit transactions with a single async request.

This list shows the budget edit transactions that are processed for batch editing:

  • Interface jobs with many individual documents that are released as part of the job:
    • Requisition (RQ)
    • Purchase order (PO)
    • Accounts payable (AP)
  • Any document that is released while Activate or Process Pending are running and the queue is suspended.
  • Any document with 50 or more budget template amounts for editing.

When the document is released, a corresponding Budget Edit Batch record is created and queued for batch editing. One budget edit batch record is created for each record regardless of the number of lines or the budget template group that is referenced. The Budget Edit Batch contains a listing of documents that are queued and processed.

See Viewing budget edit batch.

A batch edit is triggered when an interface job is complete, when the last template is processed, or when Process Batch Edits is manually triggered. The batch edit triggers the Process Batch Edits and Process Batch Edits Instances actions instead of Edit Totals. The Budget Edit Queue has Max Active=1 so only one batch or one Edit Totals can run.
