# Release transactions (GL501000)

Last modified February 19, 2026

> This window lists all batches that have a status of Balanced.


This topic provides information about the elements in this window in Visma Net, such as fields, field values, buttons, and check boxes.

This window lists all batches that have a status of **Balanced**.
You can
release either all batches or only those you select.

After successful completion of the release operation, the status of the released batches changes to **Unposted** or **Posted**, depending on whether the **Automatically post on release** option is selected in the [General ledger preferences (GL102000)](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/visma-net-erp/help/general-ledger/general-ledger-windows/general-ledger-preferences-gl102000/index.md) window.
