Multi-instance batch task

Use this parameter to run one or multiple accounting batch tasks.

When this parameter is set to No, there is only one task and therefore one line in the Accounting tasks function (GESBTC).

• The ACCENTRY batch task is the only one available and it posts all the entries for the folder to accounting along with matching.
• You can only modify the number of records per execution.
• Balance updates are included if the UPDBALBTC - Update balance parameter (CPT chapter, ACC group) is Yes and Balance update is selected in Accounting tasks.
• This task is linked to a single Recurring task (GESABA).
• Activate or Deactivate tasks in the Journal status monitor (VALPCE) only.

When this parameter is set to Yes, you can enter multiple accounting batch tasks in the Accounting tasks function (GESBTC). For each task on a line:

• Each task is linked to a unique Recurring task (GESABA).
• You can set the number of records per execution.
• Balance updates are included if the UPDBALBTC - Update balance parameter (CPT chapter, ACC group) is Yes and Balance update is selected in Accounting tasks.
• You can set the Periodicity, weekly, monthly, etc., and the Time range and Frequency in Recurring tasks (GESABA).
• Setting up N separate tasks implies N additional batch sessions as far as the Sage X3 license is concerned.
• Activate or Deactivate tasks in the Journal status monitor (VALPCE) only.

You cannot make accounting tasks a recurring process by selecting those that start when this parameter value is set to Yes.

The ACCBATCH1 task is delivered not activated to prevent it from being a recurring task.
