Hi,
For example, in receivables batch, I select the batch I would like to browse, and then I use the arrows on the lower left side in an attempt to browse, but I see all transactions from other batches too.
Thanks
Francis

Just to add to what Frank was saying, or maybe phrase it a little differently...
There is a dropdown list of options at the bottom of most transaction entry windows (to the right of the "VCR buttons") that controls the sort order used by the VCR buttons in the lower left hand corner.
Typically the default choice on transaction entry windows is "by Document" meaning it will scroll in order of document numbers. If you change it to "by Batch" you will be able to scroll through all the documents in the current batch before going to the next batch.
This same behavior can be found on most master record windows, like Account Maintenance, Item Maintenance, Vendor Maintenance, Customer Maintenance, Asset Information and Book, etc. The only difference is that the options in the dropdown list will be specific to the records on the window, so for Assets you'll see by Asset, by Class, by Location...
Anything but awesome.
Thank you all!!
Thanks for the kind words Bron. Hmmm, 'awesome' is one adjective I've never applied to GP - LOL.
Thanks Frank - I was trying to muster the courage to accurately explain the scrolling transaction method. You did great as always.
I always tell my clients that when you're in batch entry screen and click transactions - GP is assuming you want to add a transaction not view the transactions. Thus, the user must learn the VCR buttons and keep an an eye on the batchid field which will change when the user scrolls into the next batch.......
GP is still pretty awesome.......
GP has its little quirks like any piece of software. When you enter your Batch ID in the Batch Entry window and click on 'Transactions', use the left scroll arrow at the bottom left of the Transaction window (not the |< button, the < button). This will take you to the last transaction in that batch. If there are more transactions in the batch, keep scrolling with the < button. If there are other batches in alpha-numeric sequence either before or after the batch you're inquiring on, pressing the scroll buttons repeatedly will take you into those batches. Annoying, but it is what it is. It would be nice if you could only see the transactions in the batch you're focused on but once you understand how it works, it's not a big deal.
Or you can use Bron's method.
GP is not very intuitive.
I usually instruct my clients to use the edit list functionality to review documents in the batch.
From Batch entry screen - click print button - choose edit list - print to screen or printer.
The edit list will list all transctions/distributions (limited) and any errors that might exist - missing distributions or closed periods etc.....
Good Luck
