After the software generates statements, a prompt is displayed, asking if you want to print the Post-Generation Summary report, which includes the selection criteria, number of statements generated, errors, and the amount billed. A list of accounts with errors is also printed. Select Yes to print the report.
After generating and printing the batch, print the exception/error list, correct those accounts, and generate individual statements for responsible parties who did not receive a statement from the initial batch generation. Next month, these accounts should generate in the batch without error.
