Deleting a Transaction from a Batch
Batch Error Correction (54A) Method
In R⋆STARS, users enter all transactions in batches with a Batch Header and Transaction Entry screens. Depending upon the Batch Edit Mode, R⋆STARS will perform edits as the transactions are entered and saved or during the nightly batch cycle.
R⋆STARS performs several different kinds of edits:
◾ Data Element (Data) Edits
◾ Fund (Financial) Edits
◾ Batch Balancing Edits
Data Element edits compare the coding fields on the transaction against profiles for valid data. For example, for a transaction with a Vendor Number, R⋆STARS will check the Vendor Profile for that number. The edits may encounter the following kinds of errors:
◾ Invalid data element
◾ A data element is present that is not allowed for the transaction code
Financial edits compare financial fields on the transaction entry screen to budgetary constraints in the system. For example, R⋆STARS may prevent a user from entering an encumbrance if there is not enough remaining budget to cover the amount of the encumbrance. The edits may encounter the following kinds of errors:
◾ Appropriation, agency budget, grant or project budget has been exceeded
◾ Cash balance has been exceeded
◾ Document match not allowed or found (see chapter #4 – Transaction Codes)
Balancing edits compare the BATCH AMOUNT and BATCH COUNT entered on the header with the computed Batch Amount and Batch Count. They also compare the amounts for each document number to the document amount for the batch transaction entry. The edits may encounter the following kinds of errors:
◾ Incorrect Batch Count and/or Batch Amount
◾ Document Amounts out-of-balance
◾ Invalid effective date
Before looking at techniques for correcting batches, let’s briefly review some of the circumstances surrounding these edits.
A batch can be entered with a Batch Edit Mode of 0, 1, or 2. These modes determine when R⋆STARS will perform the data element edits and financial edits. The system always performs the batch balancing edits at the time the user balances and releases the batch, regardless of the Batch Edit Mode.
For transactions entered with an Edit Mode 0 (zero), R⋆STARS will identify only batch balancing errors at the time the batch is entered. It performs the data element edits and financial edits during the nightly batch cycle. Consequently, the system will not identify errors until the batch cycle; and the user will not be able to correct them until the next day.
Because the system does not perform data element edits until the batch cycle, there may be errors in such fields as the PCA, Index, Comptroller or Agency Object, or Vendor fields. These are most easily identified on the DAFR2151 Error Report.
If an agency has financial controls set to warning, the system will include the warning messages on the DAFR2151 and continue to process the transactions. If the financial controls are set at fatal, the system will include the warning messages on the DAFR2151 and discontinue processing the transactions.
For transactions entered with an Edit Mode 1, the data element edits occur on-line and must be corrected before the transaction can be saved. R⋆STARS performs the batch balancing edits at the time the batch is balanced. The financial edits occur in the nightly processing so error transactions are not available for correction until the next day.
The same rules for financial controls, warning and fatal errors apply as with Edit Mode 0.
For transactions entered with an Edit Mode 2, R⋆STARS performs the data element and financial edits when a transaction is saved. It performs the batch balancing edits when the batch is balanced and released.
Since financial edits are active, users must correct any errors before the system will save the transaction and post the batch. If financial controls are set to warning, the system will continue to process the transaction after displaying the warning. This is the only warning agencies will receive.
Data Element edits compare the coding fields on the transaction against profiles for valid data.
The edits ensure that users have entered all of the required fields and have not entered data in fields that are not allowed. These fields are determined by the transaction code.

The Transaction Edit Indicators on the 28A Transaction Code Decision Profile define what elements may or may not be filled in on the transaction entry screen. The indicators are:
I |
– |
Required and must be input on the transaction | |
R |
– |
Required on the transaction, but may either be input or looked-up | |
N |
– |
Not allowed to be present | |
Blank |

Optional | |
See Chapter #4 – Transaction Codes for additional information.
As discussed earlier, the system cannot process the transaction until data element errors are corrected. The Batch Edit Modes determine when errors will be available for correction.
In Batch Edit Modes 1 and 2, when a user tries to save a transaction with errors, the system will provide error messages at the bottom of the screen and turn the applicable fields red. With the error messages displaying, press F1 -HELP. The system will open the 90 News/Help screen and show an explanation of the first error showing on the screen. Other errors can be viewed by pressing F5 -NEXT.
In addition, R⋆STARS has on-line help for several of the data elements. Pressing F1 -HELP in the specific data field will bring up the appropriate Data Element Help screen. This feature is available for the following fields:
Vendor Number and Mail Code |
Comptroller Object |
Vendor Name |
Agency Object |
Index |
Reference Documents |
PCA |
See Chapter #7 – On-line Help for additional information.
To correct errors, users may also need to look up information on profiles, such as the 28A profile or the 28B Transaction Code Description Profile. For additional information, see Chapter #4 – Transaction Codes.
As mentioned earlier, financial edits compare financial fields on the transaction entry screen to budgetary constraints in the system. Users may receive an error if:
◾ The appropriation, agency budget, grant or project budget has been exceeded
◾ If the cash balance has been exceeded
The system may provide warning or fatal error messages, depending upon the level of control our agency has established.
◾ With warning messages, the system will continue to process the transaction
◾ With fatal messages, the system will not process the transaction until the condition has been corrected.
Correcting these errors usually involves a management decision to either re-code the transaction to a different coding block or adjust budgets.
In addition, the financial edits also ensure a correct document match for reference documents on the Document Financial Table or the Appropriation Table (e.g., pre-encumbrances, encumbrances, and accounts receivable). These edits are based upon the File Posting Indicators on the Transaction Code. See the chapters on Transaction Codes (#4), Revenue Cycle (#9) and Expenditures (#10) for additional information.

R⋆STARS performs the following balancing edits:
◾ Batch Balancing
◾ Document Balancing
◾ Document Effective Date
For Batch Balancing, the system compares the batch count and batch amount fields on the 500 Batch Header Entry screen to its computed sum of all of the transactions in the batch. If the batch count or amount isn't entered on the 500 screen, the system doesn't perform this edit.
In Document Balancing, the system totals the amount fields of all of the transactions (suffix numbers) with the same cur doc number and compares it to the entered doc amount.
It is possible for numerous transactions (suffixes) to be in a single document and for numerous documents to be in a single batch. The more transactions in each document and the more documents in a batch, the more difficult the batch balancing process can become.
For example, if a batch contained the following transactions, the batch would not balance and the user will receive a Document Balancing error.

This batch would not balance because of document VP000003. The transactions within the document total 350.00 but the document amount was entered as 250.00. In this batch the DOC AMT field on one of the transactions for this document would need to be changed and saved.
The Effective Date determines the fiscal month and year to which the transaction will post. The system ensures that the fiscal month and year to which the transaction is posting are still open.
If the Entered Count and Entered Amount fields are used when creating a batch, the amounts must equal the total number and amount of the records entered in the batch. Otherwise, the batch will not balance and you will receive the following error:

This message was displayed because the entered and computed batch count or batch amount do not match.
The user must determine if the entered and computed batch count or batch amount match on the 502 screen. If they don't, one or the other or both amounts will need to be corrected so they match.
◾ An incorrect amount or count may have been entered on the 500 screen. In this case the Batch Header will need to be changed.
◾ The user may have added an extra transaction to the batch. The transaction will need to be deleted.
◾ An incorrect transaction amount or document amount may have been entered (see Document Balancing below).
These processes are described later in this chapter.
When posting transactions to a batch, a Document Amount must be entered for each document number. The Document Amount must be the total amounts of all transactions (identified by suffixes, e.g., 001, 002, etc.) for a document number.
If a user attempts to balance the batch (F6-BALANCING) when the Document Amount and the total transaction amounts of the document don't match, the 502 Batch Balancing screen will display the message “WARNING....DOCUMENT ######## NOT IN BALANCE COMPUTED TRANSACTIONS HAVE POSTED.”
It may be more difficult to identify the error if the amounts entered for each transaction within a document do not total the document amount. Users will need to compare the total amount of all of the transactions with a single document number (different suffixes) with the document amount.

In the example above, VP000023 has four suffixes. This screen shows the AMOUNT for each of these suffixes. The user would then check the Transaction Entry screen, find the document transaction for suffix 001 and make sure the DOC AMT field shows 100.00 (50.00+25.00+15.00+10.00).
When correcting a large batch, or many transactions within a Document, the 37 Document Tracking Inquiry Screen can be helpful in determining the documents that are out of balance. See Chapter #13 – Document On-Line Inquiry for information on this screen. Action Code 700 means the document contains errors.
Out of balance batches or batches with errors are identified on the 530 View Batch Header screen or on the 54A Batch Header Correction screen. The 530 lists all batches that are waiting to process. The 54A lists batches that were entered in Batch Edit Mode 0 or 1 that have gone through the nightly batch cycle.
In addition, the DAFR2151 Error Report provides a list of the transactions that have errors. The information includes the R⋆STARS error message code and a description.
The DAFR2151 Error Report displays all transactions processed in the previous nightly batch cycle that encountered data element or financial errors. It displays the transaction ID (batch agency, date, batch type, batch number, and sequence number), detailed input elements for the transaction, an error code, and error message(s).
The report lists the same error message that can be seen on-line. Users can use the 90 screen to view the messages and obtain additional detail about any of the errors.
This report is the only mechanism the agency will have for identifying financial warning messages for batches entered in Edit Mode 0 or 1. Warning messages simply alert the agency to a condition; they do not prevent transactions from processing.
The 530 screen provides an on-line inquiry of all of the batches for an agency waiting to process.

Batch Detail Correction |
To begin the correction process, a user needs to recall the batch. The Batch Key is used to do this. The Batch Key includes:
◾ Batch Agency
◾ Batch Date
◾ Batch Type
◾ Batch Number
The Transaction Key includes the Batch Key plus the Batch Sequence Number for a particular transaction within the batch.
If users have The Batch and Transaction Keys, they can go directly to the 510 Recall a Batch for Correction or the 54A screen.
The following steps are used to correct individual transactions in the batch:
Step 01: Go to the 530 screen.
Reduce the list of batches by entering a batch type and an ‘I’ for include or an ‘E’ for exclude in the I/E: field.
If correcting batches from the nightly batch cycle, look for batches with a MODE of 3.
If the Batch Key is known, skip this section and go directly to the section that describes the kind of error needing correction.

Step 03: Make the necessary changes for the transaction. (See applicable chapters in this manual for specific data information.)
For additional information about the errors, press F4 -EDIT. The system will display the applicable error messages. The system will also display the fields that need to be added, deleted or changed in red (See Chapter #7 – On-line Help).
Step 04: Press F10 -SAVE to save the changes.
Users may want to press F10 -SAVE after each change. Often errors are related and one change may take care of several errors. For example, changing the Agency Object will also correct Comptroller Object errors. Or, changing a Vendor Number will also correct Vendor Name and Address errors.
Step 05: If there are additional batch transactions that need to be changed, press F5 -NEXT to continue scrolling through the transactions.
Step 06: After making changes, press F6 -BALANCING. The system will go back to the 502 screen and a message will indicate whether the batch is in balance or not.

Step 03: Press F3 -DEL HDR. The system will ask the user to press F3 again to confirm the request to delete the header.
Step 04: Press F3 -DEL HDR again. The system will display a message notifying that the header has been deleted.
If a batch has been released and for some reason needs to be held from processing (e.g., an error has been detected prior to the nightly batch cycle), it can be put on hold prior to the cycle using the following procedures:
Step 01: Begin on the 502 screen.
Users may access this screen by pressing F6 -BALANCING from any of the following screens:
510 |
– |
Recall a Batch for Correction |
520 |
– |
View a Batch |
530 |
– |
View Batch Headers |
Transaction Entry Screens | ||
Step 02: Press F10 -HOLD. If the user has the authority, the system will change the status of the batch from R (released) to H (hold). As long as the batch has a status of H, it will not process during the nightly batch cycle.
The Batch Error Correction Method allows users to correct multiple errors on the same screen for batches with a Mode of 0, 1 or 3.
Users may want to use this method when:
◾ All the transactions in the batch have the same error
◾ Transactions have different errors, they are easy to recognize, and the correct values are known.
In these cases, a user most likely will have identified the batch from the DAFR2151 Error Report. This method is called the 54A Method and uses a series of four screens. They include:
54A |
– |
Batch Header Correction |
54B |
– |
Detail Correction |
54C |
– |
Valid Field ID Values |
54D |
– |
Batch Detail Correction |
The screens perform the following functions:
◾ 54A Batch Header Correction
◽ Deletes entire batch (including all transactions within the batch)
◽ Puts batch on hold
◽ Releases a batch
◽ Selects a batch
◾ 54B Detail Correction
◽ Deletes a transaction
◽ Does a mass change of all transactions or specific transactions in the batch
◽ Limited to a batch containing 999 transactions or less
◽ Changes made take effect immediately
◾ 54C Valid Field ID Values
◽ Selects the Fields to be changed
◾ 54D Batch Detail Correction
◽ Does a mass change in a batch mode to all transactions or specific transactions when there are more than 1000 transactions in a batch
◽ Changes made take effect after the nightly batch cycle.
Screens 54B through 54D cannot be executed by menu or linking. Users will always start with the 54A screen.
The 54A screen lists only batches with a Mode of 0, 1 or 3. It allows the user to select a batch for correction. Select a batch by typing an ‘s’ in the SEL column
