  Defer Processing Billable Charge Count	Displays the count which helps to determine whether an invoice request must be processed in the deferred mode (i.e. in the background) or in real time (i.e. immediately). If the number of billable charges created for the bills which are selected in the invoice request exceeds the defer processing billable charge count, the system processes the invoice request in the deferred mode. However, if the number of billable charges created for the bills which are selected in the invoice request does not exceed the defer processing billable charge count, the system processes the invoice request in real time (i.e. immediately). Note: You cannot specify a negative value in this field. Deferred mode means in the background when the Generic Request Periodic Monitor (C1-GENRQ) batch is invoked. You can configure the Generic Request Periodic Monitor (C1-GENRQ) batch such that it is executed at regular intervals. For more information about the Generic Request Periodic Monitor (C1-GENRQ) batch, refer to Oracle Revenue Management and Billing Batch Guide. This field appears when the Manual option is selected from the Invoice Mode list, and Regular option is selected from the Bill Generation Type list. If you set the defer processing billable charge count to zero (0), the system resets the default value to 500.
