Transaction Batch List MGBA

You can change the appearance of the list view:

Screen Specific Actions

After you enter documents, you can review the batches even if you did not enter the documents using the batching option. If the batching option is not used, the system does not display the batch total screen. The batch source indicates how the batch was created. For example, if the batch was logged, the source is Log. If the batch was entered using detail entry, the source is Entry.

In some cases, a batch can become locked. This happens when a batch is accessed by two users at the same time or there is a system malfunction during processing. If this happens, you can use the Batch Unlock action on the Data Entry Batch List screen MGBA to unlock the batch and release it for further processing.

You cannot view batches if Source is Payment or the status is Waiting or Processing.
