Don't allow manually entered credit card gifts onto RE records without authorization codes

In a very small shop, I'm in charge of gift entry. For 2 years I've been adding credit card gifts sent by mail or phone to RE thru the batch process. I did NOT know about the EFT? and EFT tranmission process. I was able to commit a batch and credit card gifts without authorization codes were entered into RE, triggering a donor receipt letter. Donors thought their gifts were charged. These gifts (154 of them) totaling $23K never got charged !. Because we are a small shop, there is no reconcilation process between the bank account and my reports. This is total ignorance on my part. However, it would be great if the batch process would have a error or exception report or block that would not let knuckleheads like me add credit card gifts without an authorization code. Or is this yet another feature that I just don't know about and could activate? The helpful folks at chat didn't mention anything so I'm making a recommendation.
