Save Batch Transactions

Transactions can be saved to a batch several ways.

New Batch/Blank Screen

After creating batch transactions, you can:

• Click the button. The transactions will be saved with the status of Not Validated.

• Click the button. Transactions will be validated and saved to the batch. Transactions that do not pass the validation process will hold a transaction status of Validated with Errors. Transactions may also hold a status of Validated with Warnings, meaning that a transaction can be applied to the Fare Master but a discrepancy was found in the initial validation. For example, if the transaction is for a fare from MEX (Mexico City) to WAS (Washington, D.C.) and the fare amount was typed using USD (United States dollars) as the currency, the transaction would receive a warning because the currency does not match the origin city. If this is your intention, the transaction can be applied (you can ignore the warning if you wish to). If this was not your intention, you can change the currency code.

• Click the button. The transactions will be saved to the batch, validated, and applied to the Fare Master. Transactions that do not pass the validation or application process will hold a status of Validated with Errors.

• Click the button. The transactions will be saved to the batch, validated, applied to the Fare Master, and the batch will hold a status of Available for Filing (international fares or add-on fares) or Awaiting Distribution (US/CA fares). Batches that hold a status of Available for Filing must be filed in ATPCO's Government Filing System (GFS). Transactions that do not pass the validation, application, or release process will hold a status of Validated with Errors. However, a released batch may not be reused. For more information, see Release a Batch.

• Navigate to another screen. Transactions will be automatically saved to the batch.
