Budget Billing Request

Definition

A Budget Billing Request is a Mass Processing function triggered exclusively for contract accounts that manage their budget billing collections utilizing ‘statistical procedures’ rather than true partial bills.

Business Purpose and Architecture

Its business purpose is purely to trigger cash flow without actively affecting revenue ledgers. Architecturally, it operates strictly via batch intervals. Rather than computing complex new line items, it evaluates the active Budget Billing Plan and outputs a statistical request telling FI-CA to anticipate a specific fixed payment amount from the user (such as triggering an automatic bank debit) without generating a traditionally formatted bill.
