Worklist Display a worklist and see an overview of all outsorted billing documents, including information such as the billing class, billing reason, division, and portion. See immediately by how many days the outsorted billing documents are overdue in relation to the document date.The worklist is sorted by the document date as a default, so that the billing documents that are most overdue are shown at the top of the list.  See which billing checks have led to the outsorting. Also see the total net amount for the billing document.  Display the machine-learning-related information Release Confidence, which is provided as a percentage. The closer this value is to 100%, the higher the confidence of the related machine learning prediction that the document can be released.  Note This value is only populated if the necessary prerequisites are met. These require a trained and activated model version for the predictive scenario to be available and the report REML_BILLING_OUTSRTD_RELPRED to be executed to determine the release confidence for outsorted documents.     You can display more attributes by adding columns to the table from the settings.  Apply specific user configurations to your worklist, such as selecting additional columns, sorting, and groupingYou can save your worklist configuration as a variant.
