This option is used when defining the batch date of automatically created batches (such as eWeb purchase batches); the goal is to help synchronize NetForum payments with their associated transactions in the electronic payment gateway. The default for this option is 11:59PM.
Current Setting
The current setting for PaymentProcessorBatchCloseTime is used as follows:
Values: This system option is used to determine what time the system will start using the following day as the batch date for automatically created batches. The value in the Current Setting field must be entered in the following format: HH:MM followed by AM/PM (for example: 11.59PM).
Default Value: 11:59PM
Usage
The batch close time is used to associate a batch with either today or tomorrow. For example, assume the batch close time is 8:00 PM, and the current date is 3/15/2023. If a batch is created at 7:59 PM, then the batch date will be 3/15/2023. If a batch is created at 8:01 PM, then the batch date will be 3/16/2023.
This value is typically set based on your payment processor’s end of day.
Scenarios:
| System Date | Option Value | Batch Date | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 03/16/2023 11:50 PM | 11:59PM (23:59) | 3/16/2023 | The system date will always be BEFORE the option value. With this configuration, the Batch Date will always be the current system date. |
| 03/16/2023 11:50 PM |
12:00AM (00:00) |
3/17/2023 | The system date will always be AFTER the option value. With this configuration, the Batch Date will always be the day after the system date. |
| 03/16/2023 12:00 AM | 12:00AM (00:00) | 3/17/2023 | The system date EQUALS the option value. This is really a variation of the scenario just above. |
| 03/16/2023 11:01 PM | 11:00PM (23:00) | 3/17/2023 | The system date falls AFTER the option value. This means the batch date goes to the next day. |
