Printing report batches

A report batch is a group of reports that can be printed all at once. For example, you may want to create a report batch that contains all your regular monthly financial statements.

To create a report batch

note : Reports excluded from batches

Some reports, such as the Reconciliation report, can’t be added to report batches because you need to specify information to be printed each time you want to print the report. Saved custom reports are also excluded.

Go to the Reports menu and choose Report Batches. The Report Batches window appears.

Click New. All the reports that can be batched appear.

Enter a name for the batch.

Click each report you want to include in the batch. To remove a report from the batch, click the report name a second time. A check mark appears to the left of each selected report.

Click OK. The Report Batches window reappears with the name of the new batch displayed in the list.

You can choose any of the months or quarters in the current financial year, or you can choose to print information for the entire year to date.

Select the report batch you want to print and click Print. Each report in the batch is printed.
