Ability to run/schedule bill & payment runs for multiple batches at once

[daniellehoag]

We currently have 16 billing batches that our customers are separated out into based on payment method, subsidiary, etc. We have to run daily bill runs for almost all of these batches. It is tedious having to complete the same thing (but the batch # is different each time) 9 times in a row. It would be helpful if we could select certain batches that we want to run and then enter in the invoice date and target date for all the selected batches.

Would you still want to create separate bill runs for each of the batches behind the scenes? In other words, is this a usability enhancement -- make it easier to select the batches and desired dates in the UI, but still have the same number of bill runs occur? Thanks.

The ability to select multiple batches at once for a bill run (payment runs not yet supported) is coming soon.

You can now select multiple specific batches of customer accounts to be included for scheduled and adhoc bill runs (selecting multiple payment runs currently not supported) through both the Zuora UI and SOAP API.
