Lock a Batch

With the Lock a Batch function, you can lock a batch to prevent any transactions from being posted to it or allow the 'total amount' fields to be edited, to prevent it from being modified after you have balanced the batch.

Upon accessing this function, you will first need to enter a batch number.
