Batch Post Invoices

Posts a batch of unposted invoices and credits in one operation. You choose which documents to include using the selection criteria, run the task, and the results are reported in a grid showing which documents posted and which failed. The task is reached from Sales > Tasks > Post Invoices.

Note: The app submits the documents you select to the INBatchPostInvoices server task and reports the outcome for each one. The posting itself, and any resulting changes to Accounts Receivable, Inventory Control or analysis figures, are carried out by the server, not by this screen.

Permission

Running this task requires the Invoicing System > Tasks > Posting permission at Allow level. The same gate is enforced by the server when the task runs. If you lack this permission the task does not appear in the navigator.

Selection Criteria

The form presents a Selections panel that controls which documents are posted. The available selections are supplied by the server for this task and are rendered using the shared selection-criteria controls described in Selection Criteria. A document is posted only if it matches every selection you set; leave a selection blank to place no restriction on it.

The app does not define a fixed list of criteria for this task. The Selections panel is built at run time from the server's task descriptor (returned for the INBatchPostInvoices task), so the exact fields you see are determined by the server and cannot be enumerated from the app. They may also vary by company configuration and edition. The form renders exactly the selections the server returns, so what you see is authoritative for your system.

Running the Task

The task runs asynchronously: after you click Run, a progress message is shown beneath the button while posting proceeds. When it finishes, the selection form is replaced by the results view. If the run fails to start, an error message is shown beneath the Run button and the selection form remains.

Results

Once the run completes, a results screen replaces the form. It shows the criteria you ran, a grid of every document the task attempted, and a totals footer. Use Back to Selections to return to the form and run again.
