I am having some problems with my printer and it doesn't appear that it's going to be resolved anytime soon.  Consequently, when I'm doing batches, sometimes I'm successful and get the Batch Commitment Control Report and sometimes I'm not.  It is a source of great irritation to our accting. dept when I give them my financial reports, minus the commitment pg.  Is there a way to set that function up so that it is saved, rather than just prints and then it's gone?

We export to a PDF file and save in our shared document system. We also print a page for our files, but by exporting if the printer isn't working we have backup.

 Can you tell me how that is done?

On the toolbar, click on the icon of an envelope with an arrow. A window appears in which you can choose in what application you want to save the report. Select Acrobat Format (PDF)

Ditto,

I export a copy to business office folder.  I have also e-mailed the PDF to exec / dev director when they want to see what's coming through.  Same export icon, just select PDF and Mail (last option for bottom list).  You could email yourself a copy of it to print later or just export it (disk file) to print later.

Good luck with the printer issues. :-)

 I have tried to access the PDF or export option but our report goes straight to the printer without a preview.  Can you tell me where I would change the print/print preview option?

The button to select your preference to preview rather than print the Batch Control Report can be found on the General tab of the Commit Batch Screen.  This screen pops-up after your select to commit your batch.  I have attached a screen shot to this post.

I hope this helps.

 Thanks to everyone for their help.  With your assistance, I have been able to resolve the pdf/export issue...now if I could just resolve all the issues cropping up with my new computer I might be able to get some work done!  Thanks again.

This is what we do but don't print them out. They are saved to a shared directory where the security will allow users to save to the folder but not delete any of its contents.  At the end of the FY we burn them to CD.

We do this for Batch Validation, Receipt and a custom report.
