Schedule a Predefined Billing Batch

This functionality allows for easily creating predefined billing batches of optimal size and to schedule these batches which will be submitted via BPO Billing Batch Scheduler console application overnight, designed for high volume environments. The posting of the invoices to Evolution will be done via the existing PostingEngine application to prevent timeout errors on the Evolution database.
