Printing Batch Listings

A batch listing is the printed record of the transactions in a batch.

You can print batch listings for invoice, payment, and adjustment batches that have been entered, imported, generated, or posted.

For information on the contents of this report, see A/P Batch Listing Screen.

When to Print

You should print batch listings for your audit trail records after entering, importing, generating, or editing a batch, at any time before the batch is posted.

Important! When you print to any print destination, including Preview, Accounts Payable changes the batch print status to Printed. Be sure to print the batch listing to a printer or a file before posting, even if the Force Listing Of Batches option is selected on the A/P Options screen.

To print batch listings:

1. Open Accounts Payable > A/P Transaction Reports >  Batch Listing.

   Tip:

   You can also open the Batch Listing screen by clicking the Print button on the A/P Batch List screen.

2. Select the type of batch for which you are printing listings (invoice, Payment, or Adjustment).

3. Use the From and To Batch Number fields to specify the range of batch numbers to include in the batch listing.
4. Use the From and To Batch Date fields to specify the range of batch creation dates.

   The default range includes all batches from the beginning of the current fiscal year to the session date.
