All About Transactions

What is a transaction?
A transaction records the following job properties when running mail: user (if applicable),
account, class/fee, job ID, postage mode (Attached Scale, WEIGH-ON-THE-WAY® (W-O-
W®), etc.).
If any of these properties change, then the transaction will close automatically.
NOTE: A transaction is often referred to as a batch.
Other reasons a transaction can close automatically:
If you power up with a transaction that was not closed prior to power down.
l
When you attempt to print external reports.
l
When the date changes (at midnight).
l
Before accounting data is uploaded to the web.
l
Before a transaction is transferred.
l
If your system has the WEIGH-ON-THE-WAY® (W-O-W®) feature, the weight break for each
piece of mail is tracked as part of the transaction. If the class changes due to auto class
switching within a mail run then the system will automatically open a new transaction. As
mail pieces are processed it is possible that the class will change back and forth (i.e. 1st
Class and Priority). The system will record the mail pieces to the correct transaction if this
happens. When the transaction ends then the system will store two separate transactions as
part of the batch.
Managing Transactions
Once a transaction has been processed, you can view and edit it within the Manage
Accounts application. In addition, you can create filters to select a group of transactions on
your system for viewing and editing.
