摘要： A computer system and method for processing bills for a plurality of customers of a plurality of node systems within a larger system, each customer bill having a particular billing cycle, comprises a memory for storing a plurality of customer bill records containing raw data to be processed to generate a customer bill. The system also comprises a bill production initiator for waking up periodically and initiating a billing cycle for a plurality of the customer bill records stored in the memory. At least one bill production manager generates a plurality of processing group files containing at least one of the customer bill records stored in the memory such each processing group file has an efficient size and contains customer bill records having at least one common variable. At least one bill production worker processes the customer bill records from at least one of the processing groups.
