Division Group
Oracle Revenue Management and Billing enables you to group one or more divisions into a geographic region or segment. This grouping can be based on various factors, such as business cut-off time, source data file availability and volume, etc. You can then process the source data of a geographic region or segment via a single job schedule. This is done with the objective to support data processing from multiple divisions in the same batch job, and thereby achieve maximum utilization of resources and improved business performance. Note that each division in the geographic region or segment is a stand-alone entity and can be processed in any order.
The Division Group screen enables you to define a division group where you can include one or more divisions that are already defined in the system. It also enables you edit and copy a division group. It contains the following zones:
You can set the status of a division group to Active or Inactive. The system will then allow you to use an active division group while executing batches in the system.
At present, the division group is supported in the following batches — C1-TXNIP, C1-TXNPS, C1-TXNVP, C1-TXNEX, C1-TXNSQ, C1-TXNCM, C1-TXNCU, BILLOPEN, BSGENREG, POSTPROC, C1-DISTG, C1-BSEGD, C1-PNBD, C1-IDENT, C1-PDTXN, and C1-DRSUA.
The existing parameter named Division in the above mentioned batches is enhanced to support both the division group and division. If you specify the value for the Division parameter, the system will first check whether it is a division group. If so, the system will perform the expected behavior for all the divisions which belong to the division group. However, if the specified value is not a division group, the system will check whether it is a division and will accordingly perform the expected behavior for the respective division. If you do not specify the value for the Division parameter, the system will perform the expected behavior for all the divisions in the system.
