Bulk Return Edit
The Bulk Return Edit routine allows you to make the same type of change or exactly the same change to more than one return. It is intended to simplify the process of making minor changes on a large numbers of returns. For example, a bulk edit may be used to change the Tax Level for one or more returns without updating the Due Date for lodgment; or, change the partner or employee code for a number of returns.
The bulk edit enables you to view a particular data item for all returns in the system. In addition each return may be reviewed before a change is applied.

Select Edit Individually OR Override All.
When Edit Individually is ticked each return, in the range or batch being processed will be updated.
Return codes MUST be edited individually.
As each return is processed Tax prompts you for the particular value to be applied to the 'Return area to change' for this return.
For example, if you are updating the ATO Level for a batch of returns you would normally select and edit each return individually (otherwise all the returns would end up with the same ATO Level). By editing returns individually Tax shows you the code which currently identifies the return and gives you the opportunity to enter a different code as each return is processed.
When Override All is ticked the Return area to change is checked in each return being processed. If the Return area to change is blank it will be updated to the value you enter. When Override All is selected a warning is issued.
(AE) For example, Override All might be useful to update returns from one employee to another.
