Bulk action runs—Contracts

This list supports the enhanced lists interface. Learn more about using enhanced lists.

A bulk action run record is created every time you execute a process that affects multiple records, like when you post revenue or expense recognition. The bulk action run shows the status of action requests before and during processing, and shows the results of the request.

About bulk action runs

Sage Intacct creates a bulk action run when you initiate a process that could affect multiple contract lines. For example, Intacct creates a bulk action run when you post revenue or expense recognition. Intacct processes requests in the order in which they were received, so the time it takes to process the bulk action will vary. You can view the bulk action run to check the processing status of the request.

When Intacct completes the bulk action run, it sends an email notification to the user who initiated the bulk action. The email displays the number of records processed, the number of records that processed successfully, and the number of errors that occurred, if any. The bulk action run record also displays this information, so it's okay to delete the email.

The bulk action run shows details about the contract lines that were involved in a process. For example, the bulk action run for revenue posting shows the following for each contract line:

  • If the revenue posted successfully, the bulk action run displays a link to the applicable revenue schedule.
  • If the revenue post was not successful, the bulk action run displays an error message to help you identify and correct data issues.

The bulk action run also shows who executed an action, when the action was executed, and on which contracts the action was executed.
