Unsure of the process for batches to settle out before a new one is created. Whether it is because of the source/form that transaction comes from or a settlement based on timing. We often end up with numerous batches each day and many only have one donor. It is a lot of unneeded batch numbers used, processed, and posted to the ledger.
While I'm voting for this as I do spend a lot of time moving gifts to different batches. I'd love more confirmation when I'm deleting an empty batch that it shows the batch number of the batch I'm deleting. Things move quickly and the delete is at the top of the screen and very unnerving. . .
