What Is Batch Processing?

Grouping multiple invoices or payments for processing together at a scheduled time.

Detailed Explanation

Reduces transaction costs and streamlines approvals by handling volume in one pass. Common in AP departments that run weekly or biweekly payment cycles.

Example

The AP team runs batch processing every Friday to pay all approved invoices in a single bank transfer file.

Why It Matters

Lowers per-transaction costs and simplifies reconciliation compared to one-off payments.
