Banking a Batch

While tills are balanced individually a banking batch may span tills. In this case the total banking details can be viewed by selecting All in the till pulldown. The figures shown here are the figures that are posted to the Cashbook and General Ledger. These are assumed to be the figures that will be deposited to the bank and will thus make an entry in the bank statement (one for the deposit and one for EFT if applicable).

You can inform the system that you have Banked this data by pressing the Bank button. This button only appears at locations where it is not possible to update the Cashbook and Ledger files (eg. at a remote branch, or when security denies access). If the Update button is present this can also be used to set banked status however this also posts the details to the relevant systems.

Batches that have been banked at a remote branch will need to be Updated at head office to cause the Cashbook and Ledger postings to take place.

Acumen can automatically detect a new software upgrade when one becomes available and will recommend the user allows the system to update itself. The upgrade facility is fully automatic making any necessary file and program alterations required. Furthermore the upgrade system notifies the user of the more important details of the upgrade by displaying version release notes. These can be read on screen or printed for later viewing.

For distributed users the upgrade system can be configured to automatically update branch systems as part of the Branch exchange facilities. When the system connects to branches to exchange documents and update master information any software upgrades are also exchanged.
