Coming Soon: On April 2nd, all Suggestion Boxes will be migrating to The Network, Trimble's online user community. Your posts, votes, comments, and user accounts will transfer. This site will become read-only after the migration, and this banner will have a link to the new location for Vista suggestions.

Lock (Restrict) AP Payment Batch After Creation

Currently, the only way to restrict access to a batch is at the time the batch is created. Our company uses separate payment batches for checks, credit card payments and EFTs. Once the checks are printed we post, but with EFTs and credit cards, we print a pre-register for review by the controller then post the batch. Unfortunately, people have a bad habit of adding transactions to the EFT batch after the fact causing extra work for the person trying to post the batch - we match the totals to the original report signed by the controller.

We could really use a way to identify which batch is which kind so we don't accidentally put checks into an EFT batch too.

    It would be nice if we had the ability to name the batch if we wanted.
