When every value was found with confidence and every rule passed, there is nothing for an operator to do: straight-through processing skips Index / Validate and exports the batch at once. Batches with a problem still stop for an operator.
Try it
Create a Batch Setup from this template (Batch Setups › New Batch Setup, tab System features), and download its sample documents from the template's card (Download samples). Then: Import clean-invoices.pdf: the batch goes straight to export. Import invoices-to-check.pdf: it stops in Index / Validate.
