When I enter an Invoice or Cash Batch and give it a descriptive name i.e. Bank Deposit 03/24/2014, where does this description get printed? The PDF is named CashPostingJournal 54, but nowhere on it is the descriptive name.

Thanks

Hi Mike

On the batch listing, not on the posting journal. You realize that a posting journal is not limited to one batch, since you can post multiple batches at the same time.

Hi Steve:

Mike and I looked at it together. It would be possible to subgroup the posting sequences by batch number and therefore display the batch description. The GL Posting Journal report is grouped by Post Seq# and subgrouped by batch#, though it is admittedly a simpler layout.

The GL Posting Journal report, though subgrouped by batch, doesn't display the batch description. That would be a simple and useful addition to that report.

Thanks Steve,

I never print the listing because it always looks the same as the posting. I guess I didn't look closely enough. I now know you can get it on the batch status report (if it hasn't been cleared), but that involves three separate reports, which means more clutter. I'm with Bruce, it would be nicer if it was on the Posting Journal.

Hi Mike/Bruce,

I can write up the suggestion for development.

Just so you know the technical details as it currently stands, the batch description is stored in the posting journal file, so it can be printed without a database conversion being necessary. But the report table that is used to print posting journals does not have the batch description as an available field. So the temp table would require an update - ModRP is not an option for you do make the change yourself. And since posting journals can be sorted by customer or date as well as posting sequence, the batch description would have to be placed in the detail section of every entry. And there is no room left on the current 2 rows, so either a 3rd row would be necessary, or current information would need to be replaced to prevent making the report that much longer.

We use to do this with PDFdocuments for Adagio, which was killed by the launch of ePrint.

If you would really like to see this functionality please post it as an Adagio Wish List at this URL http://www.softrak.com/resources/featurerequest.php

Hi Douglas

Thanks but don't need the link - bookmarked and well used. Ask Andrew.

That's a good point. I didn't think of the various sorting options. But maybe a sorting option "By batch" could be added and that format alone would show the batch description? I can hear Cornelia screaming from here.
