Mass Update

Opens the mass update dialog, which allows to mass update the following properties: 

  • Auto Pay: A single-select lookup that defaults to "(No Change)", but has the options of "Net Balance" and "Posted Balance".  Selecting "Net Balance" will automatically enter the payment amount (based on the method) that will be applied to the Net Balance amount. Selecting "Posted Balance" will automatically enter the payment amount (based on the method) that will be applied to the Posted Balance amount, so if there are transactions in New or Approved statuses, these will not be included in the posted balance. 
  • Auto Pay Method: A single-select lookup that defaults to blank, but has the options of "Full Amount" or "Percentage".  Selecting "Full Amount" will automatically enter either the total Net Balance or Posted Balance amount depending on what was selected in the Auto Pay property.  Selecting "Percentage" allows the user to specify what percent of the Net Balance or Posted Balance they wish to pay. 
  • Auto Pay Amount: A numeric text box that defaults to blank and allows the user to enter a number to calculate the percent when the Auto Pay Method "Percentage" is selected.
  • Do you want to FIFO Apply Transactions?: A single-select lookup that defaults to "(No Change)", but also has options for "Yes" and "No". Selecting "Yes" will utilize the FIFO (First In, First Out) process to apply the transaction types selected in the 'Incl. Payable Transactions (Balance Sheet Credit)' field to transaction types selected in the 'Incl. Receivable Transactions (Balance Sheet Debit)' field to all filtered/selected Accounts. Selecting "No" will not apply any transactions.
  • Incl. Payable Transactions (Balance Sheet Credit): A multi-select lookup that defaults to blank, but also has options for "ALL", "Adjustment", "Balance Transfer", "Credit Memo", "Fish Ticket", "Fisherman Sale", "Invoice", "Payment Receipt" and "Tender Resale". The transaction types selected in this field will be applied to the transaction types selected in the 'Incl. Receivable Transactions (Balance Sheet Debit)' field, given "Yes" is selected for the 'Do you want to FIFO Apply Transactions?' field.
  • Incl. Receivable Transactions (Balance Sheet Debit): A multi-select lookup that defaults to blank, but also has options for "ALL", "Adjustment", "Balance Transfer", "Credit Memo", "Fish Ticket", "Fisherman Sale", "Invoice", "Payment" and "Tender Resale". The transaction types selected in the 'Incl. Payable Transactions (Balance Sheet Credit)' field will be applied to the transaction types selected in this field, given "Yes" is selected for the 'Do you want to FIFO Apply Transactions?' field.

(lightbulb) The FIFO process looks to the transaction date and makes applications to the oldest transactions first. If several transactions occur on the same date, then the smallest TransactionSK number will be applied to next.
