Choosing a Batch Month

In Vista, most programs require you to select a batch month before proceeding. To determine the appropriate batch month, follow these general guidelines:

1. Entries for the Current Month

If the transaction occurred in the current month, set the batch month to the current month.

Example:

• Invoice Date: 02/05/2025
• Current Date: 02/24/2025
• Batch Month: 02/25

2. Entries for Previous Months

If the transaction occurred in a previous month, use the most recent open month.

Example 1:

• Invoice Date: 12/03/2024
• Current Date: 02/24/2025
• If January is still open, set the Batch Month to 01/25.
• If January is closed, use 02/25.

Example 2:

• Invoice Date: 01/17/2025
• Current Date: 02/25/2025
• If January is still open, set the Batch Month to 01/25.
• If January is closed, use 02/25.
