All the transactions that are available are now pushed for invoicing. Once the invoices are pushed and successfully created, the status of the batch is updated to SUCCESS. In case if there were no transactions available between the picked dates, then the status of the batch appears as FAILED.

  • Success: Invoice created for all Contracts

  • Error: Not transaction found

  • Initiated: Initiated batch, awaiting ABBS response

  • Partial failure: Few Contracts failed to create invoice.

  • Failure: No contract created invoice, please click on retry image-20240417-080118.png icon to restart and trigger the billing cycle.
