Batch Time Control (PR37.1)

Use Batch Time Control (PR37.1) to release Batch status time records to Future status. You can also use this form to inquire on or delete batches currently on the system.

Note: Once a batch is released, you cannot change Future status time records back to Batch status.

Processing Effect

Once a batch is released to Future status, time records entered in the batch are no longer associated with a batch number. The time record date becomes the key to accessing Future status time records.

You can make changes to Future status time records in PR36.1 (Time Entry Maintenance). Time records remain in Future status until you change them to Current status in PR38.1 (Time Card Selection) or PR137 (Batch Time Record Update).

More Information

If you selected Yes in the Batch Control field when defining company parameters, you must enter the batch total hours and total flat amount in this form. To release a batch, values entered must match the displayed hours and amount for the batch.

If you selected No in the Batch Control field when defining company parameters, you can release a batch without matching displayed amounts.

You can run PR135 (Time Record Edit) and PR136 (Missing Time Records) to edit Future status time records.
