Processing Batches / ICLs page

The page displays the batches (ICLs) that are being processed for a specified business day. You can also manage the condition of batches (ICLs) based on specific business needs.

Links to the following pages are available:
  • Transmission hierarchy page
  • Transactions page
  • Error report page
Note: The page might not be able to display large numbers of batches (ICLs) because it is too busy trying to retrieve the data for them. If you want to display large numbers of batches (ICLs), set the Force Filter Option for Processing Batches property to true. This feature forces you to apply filters to limit the number of records that the user interface needs to load. This property is set on the User interface properties page.

Fields

When the batches / ICLs page is displayed by clicking a link in the column of another page, extra fields are displayed.

The additional fields that are displayed are shown in the following list:
Received
The date and time the transmission that contains the batches (ICLs) was received.

A Refresh button is also displayed with these fields. It is used to refresh the data in the list currently being displayed.
