Process Batch Input Sessions

In this step, you run batch input processing, thereby creating commitment items.

Note

You can choose between three run modes:

• "Process/foreground"

You can correct defective transactions online and process transactions not yet carried out level by level.

• "Display errors only"

This run mode is similar to "Process/foreground" except that transactions not yet executed and with no errors cannot be processed interactively.

• "Background"

In this run mode, the system immediately processes a session in background processing. You can input more data as soon as the session has been submitted for background processing.

If a transaction in the session contains an error (e.g if the commitment item has already been created), the system interrupts the transaction. All the other transactions are completed. The session is still displayed in the session overview, with status "Incorrect". You can correct the session with one of the interactive run modes, then complete processing.

You can start any session you want of those displayed as "still to be processed" in the overview.

The session is still displayed in the session overview even if processing was successful. The status changes to "Processes".

Requirements

• You must first have carried out the step "Create batch input session".

Recommendation

We recommend that you run the batch input session in background processing.

Activities

1. Create a session overview

To do this, choose System -> Services -> Batch input -> Edit. In the request screen, enter the session name you used in the step "Create batch input session".

2. In the session overview, choose the session you want to process.

3. Run the batch input session.

4. Check the commitment items created.
