Batch update not working in receipt.
I want to change Bank account for some transactions.

The items you have highlighted relate to two different receipt transactions

I don’t know if I’m missing something but I do not think you have described your problem clearly. Clearly explain what you intended to do, what you expected Manager to do and what Manager is doing wrongly.

What I entered in the text field and what Manager displayed after clicking “Next” were different.

I wanted to change the Bank Account Name for some transactions, so I used the Batch Update feature. I copied the data, pasted it into Excel, modified the Bank Account UUID, then copied and pasted it back into Manager. However, Manager did not produce the expected result.

I cannot reproduce the issue. It’s possible the UUID aa36a... is incorrect or reference something other than a Bank and Cash Account, in this case, Manager ignores the input.

UUID is correct

I also get the same issue when trying to change Cash or Bank account on Payment and Receipt via Batch Update.

I tried to do a Batch Update by emptying the UUID from the bank and cash account, then doing a batch update with the UUID I wanted, and this worked.

So we need to do two batch Updates to change the Cash/Bank account for Received In and
Paid from.

Maybe @lubos can see this.

Desktop Edition v25.3.7.2148

This should be in bugs then.

Idk why I can’t reproduce it on Cloud Edition.

@Mahfuzur_Rahman & @Mabaega, could you please share the OS you are using?

Cloud version 25.3.7.2148

I have the same problem, latest version 25.4.17.2256, Mac edition. Change in receiving account does not work.

For me the following workaround worked in a test:

  • start a Batch Update for the selected transaction(s)
  • copy the data into a spreadsheet
  • change as desired
  • then, delete the transaction(s) from Manager
  • and, do a Batch Create with the data from the spreadsheet.

I have not performed exhaustive testing, but so far it works for me. I can change receiving accounts at will.

Hope this helps while the bug awaits fixing.

Batch update works if you use Account codes for your bank accounts and it is also easier to update/change details in the Excel spreadsheet.

I’m brand new to Manager.
Yesterday v.25.5.8.2317 I did batch update to update a bunch of like transactions to the same Account. I selected a transaction with the account already set and the others. I copy/pasta to libracalc. Drag the good account UID to the others. Copy rows, paste in Manager. It tells me the account will be updated. go! The account is updated to an account named the UID, not represented Account.

I tried a bunch of variations. This is the closest to actually working. But it didnt work.

I read the docs. I searched the forum and found this similar issue.
