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.
- You cannot print batch listings for deleted or posted batches.
- The invoice batch listing includes debit notes and credit notes, as well as interest invoices.
- Printing batch listings is optional, unless the Force Listing Of All Batches option is selected on the A/P Options screen.
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.
