Create scanned batches for cash envelopes
Pre-Scan Tasks
Before scanning your batches, please make sure you have separated your envelopes into batches that correspond to your created batch templates (church service time, campus, etc.). Additionally, please run a tape on each batch, as the total dollar amount (as well as the number of items) is required when creating the new batch.
