Create a renewal from a batch process

Creating a renewal from a batch process is the most common way for renewals to be created. The renewal batch process looks for policies that expire in X days (the default is 180 days). Then the Policy Renewal plugin further evaluates each policy and determines whether to creates a renewal for that policy. A system administrator can also run this batch process outside of its schedule.

The frequency of the batch process is a factor in when a renewal starts. For example, you can have a batch process that runs every Sunday. Renewals that could start on Wednesday will not start until the batch process runs on Sunday, several days later.
