Jobs Schedule Management
Jobs Management enables users to configure one or more independent job schedules per client. This functionality allows users to: Configure multiple job schedules for a client Execute job schedules manually or automatically
Examples of Job Schedules
- Daily job schedule that needs to be run daily
- Month-end, quarter-end, year-end job schedule that is required to close the respective cycles.
- Other job schedules that need to be run manually or automated – ‘end of week’, ‘15th of every month’, ‘2 days prior to month-end close’ and more.
Note that a daily job schedule usually caters to accounts that are billed on the day-of-the-month. This is for clients where 28- or 31-day billing functionality is supported. This also means that clients anniversary billing date can be any day of the month. If Allegro is used for a client, then a default Daily billing job will be mandatory. This is advisable as the job schedule execution automatically takes care of completion if there are no work items in a job schedule.
