When both the Create Delta Charges for Changes to Invoiced Service Periods and Create Revenue Elements for Subscription Revisions preferences are checked, a subscription line may generate many charges and revenue elements due to change orders. When a subscription line creates a new revision, the process of updating revenue elements creates new revenue elements and delta charges. During this process, the links between every charge and revenue elements are rechecked to ensure correct charge amounts. Many revisions to a subscription can slow charge and revenue element generation. If you notice slow performance when both preferences are checked, terminate the subscription and create a new subscription.
