SBS ARCB Recalculate Billing Detail Utility

Important: Utilities should be run by an administrator for exception reasons only. For more information about this utility, contact your administrator.

Recalculate the Billing Detail List

If the information for the SBS ARCB Billing Detail List is missing for lines in an existing billing schedule, use this utility to calculate the details for the lines.

  • This utility recalculates the billing details for the lines for all billing schedules that are within the specified starting and ending billing schedule number range.
  • To run this utility for a specific billing schedule, the ending billing schedule number must be the same as the starting billing schedule number.

To recalculate the SBS ARCB Billing Detail List for lines within existing billing schedules, follow these steps: 

  1. Specify the starting and ending range of billing schedule numbers that you want to include in the recalculation.
  2. Select Actions > Calculate Details.

After the recalculation is finished, the billing details for the lines of all billing schedules that are included within the starting and ending billing schedule number range should have information on the SBS ARCB Billing Detail List. You can review a billing schedule to check that the recalculation has been performed as expected.

Release Invoice Creator Process

The process for creating sales documents from the SBS ARCB Billing Schedule Order/Invoice Creator can be run by only one user at a time. As a best practice, wait until the process has completed before running the invoice creator process again. However, this process can be locked by another user for various reasons, such as a power failure where the process was running but had not finished nor can it finish. If it is necessary to stop or release the process, it can be manually released by following these steps: 

  1. From the SBS ARCB Billing Schedule Order/Invoice Creator, you run the invoice creator process, and an error message indicating that the process is currently in use by another user. The message you see is similar to the following: 

    2. The SBS ARCB billing schedule invoice creator process cannot be run because it was already started by JoeUser on 12/13/21 11:20PM. Please try again later. (Technical details: The invoice creator process can be released by an administrator by using the "SBS... Utility".)

  2. Open this utility ( SBS ARCB Recalculate Billing Detail Utility), and select Release Invoice Creator Process.
  3. When you are asked to confirm the action, select Yes.

The invoice creator process is released from the previous user, and then can be run by a different user.
