Correct reconcile Dynamics GP SOP batch totals and transaction counts without SQL

Sometimes batch totals and transaction counts get corrupted in GP, there can be many reasons behind this.

To correct them the check links maintenance routine can be executed for “Sales Work”. This will correct the batch totals but will take a very long time to run and is not the sort of thing to be doing during working hours.

Alternatively corrections can be made via SQL which is quick and can address multiple batches,

Today I found out another way that I thought worth recording for future reference, printing an edit list for the batch. Although this can only be used one batch at a time, it is quick and “built in” to GP.

Instructions

Go to the Sales Batch Entry Window…

Transactions>>Sales>>Sales Batches

Select the SOP batch of interest and click the print icon.

In the Form to Print combo box, select Edit List and then click the print button.

Select a destination (to screen) in the print destination window that follows. After printing, leaving the batch and then going back into the batch, the totals will be found to be corrected.
