Commit a Web Transaction Batch

After a batch with Blackbaud Internet Solutions transactions completes its workflow, you can commit it to the database. When you commit a batch to the database, the program uses the data in the batch to automatically create or update records in the database. When a batch is committed, you can view its batch commit status page and generate control and exception reports.

For information about how to commit a batch, refer to Batch Entry.

Note: If the batch is not in the final state of its batch workflow before it can be committed, the Commit option is disabled. Before you can commit a batch, it must complete the states of the batch workflow. To move to the next state, you must update the batch to the next state in the workflow. For information about how to update the status of a batch, refer to Update a Web Transaction Batch to the Next Workflow Status.

When you commit a constituent update batch that includes a new user registration that is linked to a constituent who is already a registered website user, the transaction creates an exception. If you select to create an exception batch, you can delete the transaction from your database. From the website, your organization can send the constituent an email reminder with the existing login information. To send an email message, go to your administrative Blackbaud Internet Solutions site and go to Email, Messages.
