Depending on the terminal configuration settings, the Batch Control fields can appear at the beginning of a batch, prior to scanning the check, or just prior to closing a batch. If Batch Control is set to optional, the Defer button appears on the page. If Batch Control is set to mandatory, the Defer button does not appear on the page and the user cannot close the unbalanced batch.
The Batch Control screen displays the OTC Endpoint Information such as the OTC Endpoint short name, Description, and ALC+2 for the OTC Endpoint. A batch control screen only appears for one OTC Endpoint per batch. Configuration settings for batch control are set in the terminal configuration.
