When performing data entry in Access HandiLedger, you can specify a Batch Number, which is used to group transactions.
A Batch Number differs from a Transaction Number as follows:
Access HandiLedger automatically allocates a Transaction Number to each transaction. You are unable to alter this transaction number.
The Batch Number is an optional number, which you manually assign to a transaction.
You can attach a Batch Number to a transaction by completing the Batch Number field at the time the transaction is input into Access HandiLedger.
The Batch Number field is common to all data entry input windows. However, on the “Bank Statement Entry” (Input, Bank Statements) window, the Batch/Statement no. field allows the bank statement's number to be attached to each transaction.
Attaching the Bank Statement Number to the transactions makes reconciling the bank easier, as you can recall all transactions that have been assigned a specific Batch/Statement Number.
When a Batch Number is typed in the Batch Number field, all transactions and their associated ledger entries will be assigned that Batch Number. Batch numbers enable speedy recall and grouping of data.
