Batch
Balancing ensures that the quantity and value of the items scanned
is correct for a given batch.
When
required, batches can be defined within the Batch Type Wizard as
requiring ‘Batch Balancing’.
By definition, such a batch will request that a total ‘Item
Quantity’ and ‘Amount’ be provided when the batch is first
created (see Starting a New Batch). The Batch Balance
procedure is activated after completion of the Edit /Verification
process, when there is a discrepancy between the system calculated
item quantity or total amount, vs. the totals key entered during
batch creation. In such a situation, the Batch Balance window
displays the system generated values vs. the operator input values
and the discrepancy difference.
Based on this information, the system permits modification of
the individual item amounts or alternately, the original key entered
batch totals.
Clicking the ‘Modify’ button will permit the original input
values to be changed if it is determined that the discrepancy is due
to a batch value input error. Alternatively, you may double
click any item displayed within the 'Item listing' in order to
launch the item amount editing window. To further simplify this process for higher volume
batches, an item comparison feature can be enabled to automatically
compare each item in the batch against an item listing provided by
clearing/processing center.
