All about transactions

What is a transaction?
A transaction records the following job settings when running mail: user (if applicable), account,
class/fee, job ID, 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
IIf 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 . 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.
