There are three different types of batches: published batch, calculated commission batch, and one-time batch; each with their own instructions to rollback and remove. When applying a rollback to a published batch you are removing the batches from showing in payee commission reports. This should only be done if you are rolling back the most current month and as a last resort; be sure to check the commissions well before creating a published batch to avoid having to unpublish. If a batch is not yet a published batch you can rollback the batch, including its' calculations. You will want to do this if you changed a commission assignment or cost rules and you need to generate a new report with the changes in place. By rolling back published batches and calculated batches you are able to remove the existing batch and start a new batch.
How to rollback a Published Batch

How to rollback a calculated batch (processors)
Rolling back a calculated batch undoes the commissions calculation and removes the batch allowing you to create a new commission batch and recalculate the report with the current commission assignments, costs, and exemptions.

In order for the correction to be included in the commission reports a batch must be calculated with the correction in place. You may hear/see this referred to as “rolling back and recalculating”.

Assuming you see the statistics and not the notice you will see a link below the button to “Publish commissions”, that will either say Rollback rules processing or Or rollback calculation.
