The Batch Report provides a comprehensive overview of credit card transactions processed within a specific timeframe. It includes detailed information about each transaction, such as the card brand, entry method, approval status, and associated amounts. The report also captures data relevant to the transaction, such as the employee who processed it, the location where it occurred, and the date and time. Additionally, the Batch Report offers insights into totals and breakdowns by card type, as well as refund information. 

There are three sections to the Batch Report:

• Batch Summary: Provides an overview of totals and counts for the entire batch.
• Transaction Detail: Details each individual transaction within the batch.
• Transaction Detail: Voids, Refunds, and Declines: Focuses specifically on voided, refunded, or declined transactions.

Each section can be further customized using the columns defined in the Batch Report Glossary.
