Posting Historic Batches (3 years worth!)

Lee-Anne

Some quick random thoughts...

I'd talk with Tessitura support before proceeding there maybe some technical limits. I'd also talk with your finance department folks trying to determine how they want to report this in the system.

This has some implication on reporting.

It would be great to do them one per day per department. Back dating. However that could take a LONG time depending on how many batches you have.

When it comes to backdating posts. There is potentially a limit on how far you can backdate this is controlled by entries in T_defaults. Something like MAX BACKDATE. (You will have to look this up.)

The behavior for controlled and uncontrolled batches may be diffrent?

The behavior of batches created in earlier versions of Tessitura may be diffrent.

I'd do a live to test copy of the database and test there before proceeding with live.

Good luck.

Hi

I've recently started working at the Young Vic as their Database Manager and have discovered that they haven't posted any batches since 2012.

Can anyone offer advice as to the best way of dealing with this? What will be the impact if I bulk posted all batches at the same time; as in over a period of a couple of day in lots? Should I backdated them to the actual date they were closed?

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Very many thanks
