  2. Select the Inquire form action to display batches and the time record amounts and hours that have been entered for the batch.
  3. Type the control hours and amounts for each batch in the Control Hours and Control Amount fields.
    Note: If the control and entry hours, amounts do not match use Time Record Edit (PR135) and Missing Time Records (PR136) to find discrepancies in the entered time records.
  4. If the company uses batch control to control hours and amounts, review the totals in the Control Hours, Control Amount, Entry Hours, and Entry Amount fields to ensure that they match.

  5. Select Release in the Line Action field next to each batch you want to release to future status.
