Use the Batch Control reports to review invoice batches. You can run either report to review invoice entry and identify and resolve batch variances.
The report you choose determines the order in which the invoice batches are listed:
Batch Control Report by Batch Name. Lists invoice batches in order of batch name and batch date. Also sorts by entry name.
Batch Control Report by Batch Entered By. Lists invoice batches in order of entry person. Also sorts by batch name.
Each report displays the userid of the person who entered a batch for easier research, or to review employee performance. Each report also prints the control count and the control total of invoices for all batches. Each report prints the difference between the total control count and the actual control count, as well as the difference between the total control amount and the total of actual invoice amounts.
Note: The Batch Control reports do not include invoice batches with no assigned invoices.
You submit each report from the Submit Request window. See: Submitting Standard Reports, Programs, and Listings.
