Duplicate Cash Receipt Batch Will Not Post

I don't think that is the reason it won't post cause we use the same batch number all the time- like for wire transfers. What version are you on? I wonder if it is just because nothing is in the group.

Subject: [Vantage] Duplicate Cash Receipt Batch Will Not Post


For you fellow accountants...

My assistant created duplicate batch IDs by mistake. When trying to
post the 2nd batch, which does not contain any receipts, it says "THIS
GROUP HAS ALREADY BEEN POSTED" and will not allow me to "post" it in
order to clear it from the list of outstanding batches (since you must
post a batch in order to delete it).

Has anyone else seen this? I didn't realize that the Cash Receipts
batches must have unique IDs (I have used the same G/L Journal Entry
Batch ID many times in the past and I would have assumed this worked the
same in all batch-related areas, like A/P, G/L, etc.). I've tried to
change the name, but this is not allowed. If this is the case, why
wouldn't programming stop you on the front end (i.e. not allow you to
create a duplicate batch ID, rather than on the back end after the
"duplication" has already been accepted?)

Thanks in advance for your assistance!
