How to enter a manual transaction on the DM500, DM800, DM925, DM1000 and more

Manual transactions are used to enter transaction data that was not applied to the mailing system. For example, if mail was processed while Budget Manager was disabled, a manual transaction would allow the operator to enter the transaction information back into the system. Manual transactions are identified with an “M” on transaction reports.

To create a manual transaction without running mail through the meter:

1. Press Menu.
2. Press the down arrow button, then select Manual Transaction. 
3. Select the desired options for the manual transaction:

• Account (required): The account to which the manual transaction will be applied.
• Class (optional): The mail class.

• Job ID 1 (optional): A Job ID.
• Job ID 2 (optional): A second Job ID.
