Open Amex Batch Editor
Simple Explanation: This tool allows you to view a detailed list of those
transactions for a particular merchant number that PCCharge has not yet
attempted to settle. You may void any of the transactions displayed by the
Open Amex Batch Editor tool.
To void a transaction, you must first select the row(s) containing the transaction(s) you
want to void. You can select multiple transactions by holding down the Ctrl key on your
keyboard while clicking on the transactions you wish to select. To select a range of
transactions, click the first transaction you want to select. Next, hold down the Shift key on
your keyboard while clicking on the last transaction you wish to select (can be above or
below the first transaction). After, you've selected the transaction(s) you want to void, click
the button Void.
To access the Open Amex Batch Editor window, click Batch on the menu bar. Click the
Batch Management option. Click the Open Amex Batch Editor option. Select the
merchant account whose open batch you wish to edit and click OK.
