Batch Billing Usage Requests

Batch billing usage requests are created and held in the initial pending state. A separate batch process is responsible for transitioning these requests and sending them to the MDM system. Here's how this works:

• The get consumption algorithm specified on the SA Type's Bill Segment Type is responsible for creating the usage request. These batch billing usage requests are held in the Pending state until the batch Usage Scheduled Monitor Process is executed
• Similarly, once a response is received from MDM, the usage request will not transition to the Bill Determinants Processed state until the batch Usage Scheduled Monitor Process is executed
• In addition to the standard MDM usage request elements, the system captures the bill cycle and window start date.
