The Frozen Gift Certificate

Former Member
Former Member $organization

Hello All,

In trying to pay a subscription order out with a gift certificate balance, the following error window reads:

"Gift Certificate_is in use in Batch_and could not be locked"

This batch is currently in session today. Will closing the batch allow access to the gift certificate?

Any assistance is very much appreciated!

 

 

 

  • Hi Malcolm,

     

    We get this from time to time as well, and closing the batch will clear it. I think there might be a shared report out there somewhere, that, when you run it, will clear the lock without closing the batch. But I could be dreaming!

     

    Cheers,

    Kathleen

    This has happened to us before.  After closing & posting the batch, we were able to access the Gift Certificate….if it doesn’t work the same day, you may have to wait till the following day.

  • If the Gift Certificate was used in a controlled batch, the gift certificate will be locked until the batch is closed (which confirms any payments/redemptions).

     

    If this is occurring in an uncontrolled batch, try simply restarting Tessitura for the session containing the batch.  It should clear out any locked transactions/payments.

     

    Still locked? The trusty folks over at support have a few more tricks up their sleeve.

  • Restarting Tessitura for the user’s batch should fix this…you shouldn’t have to wait for the following day!
