Report batches are groups of reports you set up that allow you to print several reports at a time. You can set up report batches to serve a number of purposes. For example, you may wish to create a report batch that contains all your regular monthly financial statements; with a few clicks of the mouse, you can start the printing process so the reports print while you work on other important tasks. Report batches are created and maintained in the Report Batches and New/Edit Batch windows.
Please note that this task requires single-user access. See Single-user file locking for more information.
Printing a report batch is slightly different than printing an individual report. Instead of making entries and selections in a Report Customization window before you print, you'll use the Report Batches window to choose the reporting period for the batches you want to print.
In the Period list field in the Report Batches window, you can choose any of the months or quarters in the current fiscal year, or you can choose to print information for the entire year to date.
Your selection in the Period list affects different types of reports in different ways. As an example, say you chose January from the Period list.
| Note: Some reports can't be put in 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. If you attempt to add a report that can't be included in a batch, an alert message will appear. |
