Transaction Header (AR42.1)

Use Transaction Header (AR42.1) to create and maintain transaction batch records. A transaction can be an invoice, credit memo, or debit memo.

More Information

A batch is required before you enter transactions in Transaction Entry (AR42.2) or Speed Entry Transaction (AR42.7). Physical transaction forms are not created. AR42.2 and AR42.7 create system records that typically reference actual transaction documents.

A transaction batch groups transactions for control totals and provides default information for all transactions in the batch. A batch record eliminates the need to type redundant information on every transaction record. If you selected the batch control totals option for the company in Company (AR01), control totals must match entry totals before you can release a batch.
