Collective Encoding can be very useful if Batch Closing is used. In the situation Batch Closing raises an error message that not all books can be closed, because not all entries are encoded yet, this section can immediately provide an overview of all entries that have not yet been (fully) encoded. All entries of the given period(s) can be encoded in order to close all books via Batch Closing.
Even if Batch Closing isn't used, Collective Coding can offer advantages. If, for example, the Progress overview shows that several books have not yet been closed, this section provides an overview of all entries that still need to be coded in order to be able to close the period(s).
