Batch status returns to working

If not checked the system looks for a matching positive transaction, and gives you a "second chance" when you are in the expenditures screen to confirm that you mean to enter the matching transactions(s).

7. Select [Expenditures].

8. Select the expenditure line(s) that need changes and make the changes.

Note: The organization field can not be modified; if the organization is incorrect select the delete icon on the menu bar and at the same time all of the transactions under the Organization will be deleted and will have to be entered again.

9. Save your work.

Note: Some Schools and Departments require a review of Actual Expenditure Batches before submission to Accounting Services or Office of Sponsored Programs for final review and approval. In those cases, the Batch Creator would save the batch then notify the viewer (i.e. E-mail, phone etc.) that a batch or batches have been created and ready for review.

10. Close the expenditure form.

11. Select [Submit] on the Batch form.

Note: Status is now Submitted and ready for review by Account Services or Office of Sponsored Programs.
