GP to BC Enablement Series - Batch Processing
Batch Processing
Dynamics GP is a Batch Processing system. Users create batches and save transactions to the batch. Once the batch is complete, users post the batch. Batch Posting rules can be set up control the batch posting process. For Instance, users can setup the Batch Posting in the following ways:
- Post to the General Ledger or Post Through the General Ledger
- Post detailed transactions to the GL or Batch summary transactions to the General Ledger
- Use the Batch date or the Transaction date as the Posting Date
- Choose different batch posting reports to print
Batch in Dynamics GP:
Business Central uses batches a bit differently. Journal transactions (Journal Entries) are created and posted in a batch, but document transactions (Invoices and Credits) are not saved into a batch. Documents can, however, be posted using batch process by selecting a group of transactions to post. At that time, all selected transactions can be given the same posting date. Business Central posting differs from GP in the following ways:
- Documents and journal transactions are posted through the subledger and into the General Ledger. You can’t restrict posting between the modules.
- Transactions are posted in detail into the General Ledger.
- At posting, the user decides which date to use for the document posting date. The transaction date may be used or it may be overwritten at the time of posting.
