In Accounts Payable, Manual Check Entry, what is the batch field used for?
This field contains the total amount of all check you are going to enter. Run an adding machine tape on all the checks you are entering in this batch and enter the amount here. This will assure that: You entered all the checks in the stack and Help assure that the amounts were entered correctly. If there is a bank distribution amount when you are finished, you will have the opportunity to check both the batch total you entered originally and the checks entered into this batch and make the appropriate corrections. If you do not wish to run a tape on the checks, enter 0 for the batch total, then use the “C”hange option to make the batch total equal the sum of the checks entered into the batch.
