Description: This step is the first step of batch billing process. Using the established Bill Cycle Schedule, CC&B selects Accounts defined within a specific Open Bill Cycle. The Bill cycle's schedule controls when the system attempts to create Bills for the account. Every Bill cycle has a Bill cycle schedule that defines the dates when a cycle's accounts are to be billed. Rather than attempt to create Bills on one evening, most Bill Cycles use a concept of “Window Billing” where the system attempts to produce Bills for accounts over a few nights.
