Closing/Deleting Batches

Apr 23, 2007 3 Replies

I have several "old" batches that I don't wan to see on the Journal - Update Batch Info report/screen. These are old batches that were originally created on "test" back office computers (back in 1.3R) and are currently still showing as open. To what value should I set the Batch status to in order for them to not show up anymore on the Update Batch Info screen?



Does anybody have a list of what the status value numbers represent? (I.E. Open, Blind closed, Z out, Opening numbers entered, closing numbers entered etc.)



I am using RMS SO 2.0


HI Alex, there are couple way you can do this. You can post the batches so it generate the text file so no need to do anything to text file just delete this so the batch are posted. However if you want you can run the SQL Script also you can do so alos. the Batch.Status=7 means close batch at POS Batch.STatus=0 means open batch Batch.Status=8 means the blind closeout batch.

Now up to you which way you will do this and remove all your old batches better to use the first way I describe. and let me know which account> I have several "old" batches that I don't wan to see on the Journal - Update

We're not using any accounting software integration, so that's not a concern. I just want to make sure that the "bogus" batches don't show up anymore on the Batch update screen, to avoid any confusion that this may cause the "closing" people. I don't want to close it out from the "back office" (non POS) machines as this immediately creates a new open batch.

I've also got the following status numbers in my batch table (besides the ones you mentioned): 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 13, 15 any ideas what these status codes mean?

Here is the defination of Batch Types:

0 = Open. 1 = Closed from POS without opening and closing amounts. 2 = After entering opening amount only 3 = Closed with opening amount only. 4 = After entering closing amount only. 5 = Closed with closing amount only. 6 = Opening and closing amounts entered. 7 = Closed at POS after opening and closing amounts entered. 8 = Blind Closeout without entering opening and closing amounts. 10 = Blind Closeout with opening amount only. 11 = Closing batch after blind closeout with opening amount only. 12 = Blind closed with only closing amount. 14 = Blind Closed with opening and closing amounts entered. 15 = Closed from manager.
