The "Batch" Process

All data in the Absolute Accounting System, whether entered manually, or imported, goes into “Batch” files. While data is in the batch files it can be changed or deleted. Data in the batch files is not considered “real” and WILL NOT appear in any reports (other than Batch Edit Lists). Batches must be “Posted” for them to enter the permanent history files. Once a batch is posted it cannot be changed or edited. It can only be “reversed”. Most transactions have an automatic reversal process.

 

The AR and AP Batches post to the General Ledger batch file (Main Menu/GL Trans Entry [General Ledger Section]). NOTE that this requires a DOUBLE posting of AP and AR transactions, once to record them in the AR and AP History, and again to record them in the General Ledger. Regular AR and AP transactions post into General Ledger batches named “AR Posting” and “AP Posting” respectively.
