Design Overview

This background job is composed of two steps processing. It will have a threading assignment and a business logic processing.

Thread assignment program will filter eligible records from order-shipment and order header tables based on its purge criteria. The Close Open Ship Days parameter will determine number of days that all shipment records that have remained opened and not associated with any open invoices. These records are chunked and Thread ID is assigned for each. They will be stored temporarily in a staging table.

The Business logic program will process all records from the staging table. Using bulk processing, this program will update the records from order-shipment table by setting the invoice match status to 'C'losed. It will free up and clean the staging table afterwards. There is a STOP ON NEXT feature in bulk processing (through a loop) where Administrators can stop this batch with a flip of this indicator.
