Billing tasks

Infor Public Sector Billing makes particularly heavy use of the Batch Manager for processes such as bill generation and payment posting.

In addition to setting up these tasks in the Batch Manager, you may want to adjust some of the Batch Manager settings in the Configuration Editor to improve your performance. This particularly applies to eight tasks that use multiple threads due to the large numbers of records involved: Bill Run Schedule, Delinquency Refresh Assignments, Delinquency Run, Direct Debit Run, Journal Run, Penalty Run, Post Payments Run, and Reconcile Run.

The Number of Task Threads attribute in the Batch Manager configuration sets the number of threads the Batch Manager will use for these processes. In the Billing configuration, each task has a CommitNumber attribute that sets the number of records to be processed in each thread. For example, if you set the number of threads to 4 and the commit number for the bill run task to 600, the Batch Manager will process four threads simultaneously, each of which will include 600 records.
