Batch Processing is a great way to process transactions quickly and efficiently. There is no need for user interaction once batch processing is underway, which makes it very different from transaction processing. With transaction processing, transactions are processed one at a time and usually require some kind of user interaction. However, batch processing can be done without any user interaction, making it much faster and more efficient.While batch processing can be carried out at any time, it's particularly suited to end-of-cycle processing, such as for processing a bank's reports at the end of a day or generating monthly or biweekly payrolls.
