Which date and time (created by- or modified by- ) will indicate when and by whom the batch was released?
In some cases a batch has user X as created-by and user Y as last modified-by. Will it always be the last modified by that indicates the user and date and time of the release of the batch?

Hello,
The answer depends on configuration settings and module. It’s complicated. What kind of Batch are you asking about - from which module? GL?
If Automatic Posting is engaged in the module of origin, when a batch is Released, it is also Posted at the same time.
Individual Documents in Subsidiary modules may continue to be updated after being posted: For example, an AP Bill can be “Last Modified” many different times during natural AP Processing:
At release,
At partial payment,
when Payment Terms or Payment Method is updated prior to payment,
If Payment is Voided,
When AP Bill is Paid again.
If Automatic Posting is Not Selected in the Preferences screen of the subsidiary module (AP, AR, CA, IN, etc.) then it’s possible to have time lapse between Release and Post processes. It’s possible one person could Release the batch, and a second person could Post it.
If Automation Schedules are used, figuring out who did what becomes more confusing.

Hi Laura
Thank you for your helpful feedback.
We will look into using the audit trail then to see the detail for the created-, modified- and released- dates/by for the transactions.
