Accumulating Balances
Accumulated balances enable you to dynamically define and run balances for key combinations in the PeopleSoft Billing application.
The Balance Accumulation process (BIACCUM) performs background calculations that generate the invoiced balance, uninvoiced balance, and total (invoiced plus uninvoiced) balance. This process only maintains the current balances for each key combination defined by the accumulation description. Through the process, the system deletes old values and replaces them with current values. If you do not want to erase existing balances, change the Accumulation Start Dates field on the Accumulation Description page. The process calculates new balances without erasing the existing ones.
This topic discusses how to update balances for balance accumulations.
