JC Set Up Batch window (Bills)

JobCostCS > Job Cost > AP Enter Bills menu > JC Set Up Batch window (Bills)

Batch processing is only available if you select the Multi-batch mode check box in Module Preferences. Use this window to set up a batch in which to enter costing activity.

Batch Number

The batch number is set automatically by the system and cannot be changed. The numbering scheme begins with “AAAAAA” and continues with “AAAAAB”, “AAAAAC”, and so on. After reaching “AAAAAZ”, the next batch will be “AAAABA”, followed by AAAABB, and so on. When the system reaches batch “ZZZZZZ”, it will start over at “AAAAAA”.

Identity

Enter an identifying description in the Identity box. The default will show the three-character user ID and the current time. You can modify this to reflect your organization; for example: SUP 15:28:35 Monday 5/20 or MGS Jones Job 5/20/15.

Date Created

This is the date this batch was created. If this is a new batch, it will reflect the current transaction date. This is set by the system but can be changed from the Change the Session Date option in the Job Cost section of the navigation pane.

Transactions

The number in this box reflects the number of unposted transactions currently in the open batch. It is for informational purposes only and cannot be edited. If you want to delete a batch in this window, this field must show zero.
