### Approving Documents in Batch

When a batch file is generated, a batch status automatically becomes Waiting for bank response. Parallels Business Automation - Standard considers this as if a batch file was submitted in a bank and does not allow to change a batch configuration.

However, in some cases you may need to add some documents to or remove from a batch.

What can you do to a blocked batch:

1. Reopen a batch and change its composition. After this, a new batch file should be generated.
2. Terminate a batch, which releases all the documents included in it and allows composing a new batch and generating a new batch file.
3. Do not wait for official bank response and start services provisioning before approving the corresponding transactions. You can do this using the global setting or manually.
4. Approve or decline transactions in accordance with a bank response. When at least one transaction is approved or declined, a batch status automatically becomes Processing bank response. A batch in this case is also closed for editing and now it cannot be terminated. When all the transactions are approved or declined, a batch status becomes Completed.

To process a batch separately:

1. Select Commerce Director - Bank Transfers - Batches
2. Select a batch you want to process from the list of batches that appears (click on a batch ID or creation date).

   Note: Under the Summary tab of a batch properties, you can find the Provision all documents button. To save time, you can click it to start services provisioning in accordance with all the documents included in a batch.

3. Select the Batch Transactions tab from the set of batch properties that appear. Not approved transactions have the Pending status.
4. Process transactions:
   - To approve transaction(s) for a document(s), check the box(es) next to document(s) ID and click the Approve selected button.
   - To decline transaction(s) for a document(s), check the box(es) next to document(s) ID and click the Decline selected button.
   - To approve all the documents included in batch in one click, click the Approve all button.

To process a batch in a pile:

1. Select Commerce Director - Bank Transfers - Transaction Log
2. Check the batch(es) you want to process from the list of batches that appears.

   Note: You can process only batches with the Pending status. All the other batches have inactive checkboxes.

3. Process transactions:
   - To approve transaction(s) for a document(s), click the Approve selected button.
   - To decline transaction(s) for a document(s), click the Decline selected button.
