Use

You can exchange your electronic data with the relevant authorities using this function in Authority Communication with the B2-A Manager.

The exact procedure differs for each country. For more information, see the country-specific documentation.

 

Features

Selection

·        Display only open processes indicator:
As standard, the display only open processes indicator is set in the other options group. This means that only entries are displayed that are not yet completed. These are entries, that have the status new, in process or error – process anew. Entries with the status OK or incorrect have been completed or can not be processed any further. These entries are not displayed, if the display open processes indicator is set.
If you also want to display entries with the status OK or incorrect, deactivate the indicator.

·        Restrict selection with selection criteria:
In certain country versions, a group Selection is available, in which you can further restrict the entries you want to display using particular selection criteria.
These selection criteria can be, for example, the area, the document type, or the personnel (sub) area.
Choose, for instance, a particular area so that only entries for this area are displayed.
If you do not want to make restrictions, leave the fields empty and choose Enter. All (open) processes are displayed.


If you also want to display completed processes, deactivate the display only open processes indicator.

 

Controlling

There are several functions for controlling entries in the B2A Manager. To execute a function, select the desired entry and choose the corresponding function using the relevant pushbutton or using the Process menu entry.

·        Display data:
The data of the relevant entry is displayed in a detailed view.
Which data is displayed, depends on the communications procedure and the authorities.

·        Execute process:
A process is executed for a certain entry (data received or sent using the Internet).

·        Display history:
All processes that have been performed are displayed for this entry.
The history contains, in particular, all status changes to an entry, as well as the status changes made by the system and made manually.

If a history is available for an entry, you will find an icon in the first column of this entry that can be expanded. Alternatively, you can directly display the history for an entry using this icon.

·        Change status:
To document which processes have already been performed for an entry, each entry has a particular status.
The respective status of an entry is usually set by the system. Depending on the area and document type, you can also change certain statuses manually using the function change status
