Rejected batches are not settled cash
Rejected batches over total make reject %. Reject % = rejected / total × 100. Type rejected and total batches.
Pair: Batch reject share on Payments. Lag: settlement batch lag. Stages: sold vs settled.
What you type
Rejected — settlement batches that failed / rejected in the window.
Total batches — all settlement batches attempted in the same window.
Reject % = rejected / total × 100. Fix bank / file quality when reject % is material — do not invent a reject chip.
What not to do
Do not invent a reject percent. Do not mix ACH returns into batch rejects. Do not treat lag days as reject count. Do not average every employer when one owns the hole.
