Batch Control (AP25.1)
Use Batch Control (AP25.1) to define, maintain, and release invoice batches for companies that have Yes selected in the Batch Release field on Company (AP00.4).
A batch number is a unique numeric value within a company used to group invoices for entry. All unreleased batch numbers for a company display on this form, along with entry totals and control totals, if defined.
Processing Effect
If your Accounts Payable application is set up to check payment status on invoices, after release an Accounts Payable API is run to verify if activity requires payment information.
Troubleshooting
If the company has Yes selected in the Batch Control field, entry totals must equal control totals before you can release a batch. If the company has No selected in the Batch Control field but you define control totals, the application displays a message indicating the totals do not match but does not prevent release. Use Invoice Entry (AP20) to correct invoice errors before you release a batch.
