What kind of batches, and at what stage of the process is being delayed?  At the "print" stage, terminating the process and restarting is fine.  At the "update" stage, terminating the process can cause data corruption.  If the issue is between the module update and the DTR, with Win 11 workstations, there is a known issue with that, being discussed in a different SC thread.

SO invoices with credit cards being processed during the update, could be a problem communicating with the Paya / CC service.

If on Premium and you have something like SQL mirroring set up (or SQL triggers), you're on your own. Disable those customizations and see if things improve.

Also ensure you don't have anti-virus real-time scanning of the Sage 100 server folders (and / or scanning network files from workstations).  That can really cause delays and there is a Sage KB article on recommended exclusions.

Updating really big batches can take hours.  We had one client system who had huge monthly invoicing batches that they had to leave running overnight.

Thank you, I will look into how our Sage is configured. They are working within the Sales Order module and posting sales invoices and credit memo's. The batches are not large by any means.

I see that it takes a really LONG time for Sage to do the emailing part of the operation. The rest of it is pretty quick. But that draws out the entire process. We typically email 99% of our invoices.

Note there is a known issue with printing registers and Windows 11 22H2.  There is not a fix or an ETA on it yet

We also found that failing to clean out our Paperless Office pdfs periodically could slow things down—so if you print the invoices to pdf you can quickly exceed the maximum recommended number of documents. We purged very old documents and did see a performance boost. 

We haven't had a problem with Paperless, but then again we setup a new folder for PDF invoices each year. 2022 still had 22,000+ documents in it.
