520 View a Batch
Agency and centrally used. The View a Batch (520) screen allows users to see all of the transactions in the batch that still remain on the internal transaction (IT) file. The error (E) column on this screen will identify transactions that are in error or are failing to pay due to errors incurred during payment processing. There are two different views of the screen available: Ref Doc/Sfx (Reference Document) and Pay Date. Access to the different views is controlled by the value entered in the ACTION field.
The 520 allows inquiry/viewing of transactions. No changes to the transactions are allowed, and the batch release flag is not changed on the View Batch Headers (530) screen.
To access this screen:
- Press the F11 key on the financial transaction data entry screens,
