Knowing the status of a batch is important to the batch processing. A batch can be in any of the statuses listed below.
Deposit Status | Definition |
---|---|
Approved | The transaction has been verified and will be processed at the next cutoff time. |
Deleted | The entire deposit has been deleted by someone in your organization prior to closing it. The deposit may not be deleted once it has been closed. None of the items will be sent to transaction processing. |
Deposited | All items have been processed successfully, and the deposit is in balance with no discrepancies or errors. These items are now in the Approved status, and an email notification has been sent. |
Deposited with Adjustment | One or more of the items within this deposit caused an adjustment to the total deposit amount. The transactions have been sent to transaction processing with the adjusted deposit amount. An email notification has been sent. |
Open for Scanning | A deposit has been created and is open to scan. Items can be scanned into this deposit until it is closed. |
Partial Deposit | One or more of the items was removed from the deposit due to a duplicate or rejected item. The deposit has been sent to transaction processing with the deposit total minus the items that will not be processed. An email notification has been sent. |
