When you commit a batch, you can select to create an exception batch, which contains all records that do not commit to the database. From this exception batch, you can correct any errors that prevent the committal of records. After you correct the data, you can then commit the exception batch to automatically create or update the records in the database.
When you commit the exception batch, you can select to create another exception batch of any records that still do not commit to the database. Depending on the size of the original batch and the number of exceptions, you may generate several exception batches before you successfully commit all records from the original batch to the database. On the Batch Exception Chain page, you can view all batches related to a selected batch. To access the Batch Exception Chain page for a batch, select the batch on the Batch Entry page and click the batch number.
The Batch Exception Chain page displays all batches related to the batch in order of their committal dates, with the original batch listed first. In the grid, the batch from which you access the exception chain appears in bold. For each batch, you can view its number, description, owner, category, and committal status.
From the grid, you can access the batch data entry screen to open a committed batch, and view its records. You can also view a control report or an exception report for a committed batch. The batch control report lists the records in the batch that were committed to the database and provides information about each record. The batch exception report contains information about the records that did not commit to the database and explains why each record did not commit. Batch Exception Report
For an uncommitted batch, you can access the batch data entry screen to correct data if necessary and ensure its committal.
