What to Do if a Batch Has Errors

If for technical reasons some documents cannot be deleted, the system will change the batch status to Error.

Possible reasons for the error:

  • the document was manually added to the batch , but is still under retention but should be kept according to retention rulesRetention Rules

  • the document must be kept on hold due to ongoing litigation

  • the document could not be deleted due to a technical system error.
