   Batch Processing The events, for which you had indicated automatic processing, are triggered off during the Batch Process. You can specify preferences for the automatic events that fall on a holiday in the Branch Parameters screen.
   Process till Next Working Day	If you indicate that the processing has to be done up to the next working day - 1, all the automatic events falling due on the holiday will be processed by the batch process as part of the EOD. The batch process should process automatic events falling due on a holiday, on either of the following dates: Next working day Up to system date If you indicate that processing has to be done only up to the System Date, then only the events scheduled for today (the last working day before the holiday) will be processed. The events of the holiday are processed by the batch process as part of the BOD process on the next working day.
   Use User Reference No in Messages	If you wish to display the user reference number in the advices that are generated for a contract, select this option. All the advices generated at your branch will display the appropriate user reference number. Note: You can specify a format for the generation of the User Reference Number in the ‘Sequence Generation’ screen available in the Application Browser. Refer to the Core Services User Manual for details on maintaining a sequence format.
   Use Ultimate Parent User Reference for Child Contracts	If you wish to display the user reference number of the ultimate parent in the advices generated for child contracts, select this option. If this box is unchecked, the user reference number of the child is displayed for the child contracts.
   Accrual Level At the time of creating a product, you specified the following: Whether accrual of profit is allowed for the product The accounting entries that should be passed for the accrual event The frequency with which the accrual entries should be passed A bill will inherit the accrual frequency defined for the product associated with the contract. For bills, which are to be automatically liquidated, you can indicate the level up to which they should be accrued. The options available are: Product Contract If you indicate that automatic accrual should be done at the product level, a single entry for all contracts will be passed. However, if these contracts have moved into different user defined status, the accrual entries will be passed at the product level and for each user-defined status. This helps reduce the time taken to pass each entry. If you indicate that the automatic profit accrual process should pass accrual entries at the contract level, accrual entries will be passed for each of the contracts for which profit was accrued automatically.
