The Billing Run Initiation may need to be re-run if Bill Messages were created and actions.  For example, a bill may not have been created as a Meter was not in the Supply Point and bill could not be produced or if there were gaps in the data and these have been filled.

Once the Bill Messages have been actioned, you will need to re-run the Billing Run.
