Use this step to define parameters to control the processing of background jobs for material withdrawals, calculating actual costs and transfering data to Time Management during confirmations.

The materials will be withdrawn from stock once the background job has run, not when you save the confirmation. You can use the background job to improve system performance.

Note

Please note, that when you withdraw materials using a background job, your stock level will not be accurate until the background job has finished.

Define Background Job

You determine the following parameters for the background job:

  • name of the background job
  • priority of the background job (job class)
  • computer on which the background job is executed
  • how many steps the background job is to contain (each step starts a further program.)
  • whether the background job processes ABAP/4 programs or external programs
  • when and how often the background job should run

    The SAP System provides the following selection options:

  • Immediately
    • The system starts the job right after it is released.

  • Date
    • You can specify a date and a time at which you would like the job to be executed. If desired, you can also initiate an automatic repetition of the background job.

  • After job
    • You can specify the name of the job whose processing is to precede your job. You can also specify whether this "appendage" is to be status-dependent.
    The indicator status-dependent means that the second job is executed only, if the first one was completed successfully. This is useful if the second job depends on the first one.
    Example:
    1. Create analysis
    2. Print analysis

  • After event
    • You can specify an event at which you would like the job to be executed.
    Events are initialized by ABAP/4 programs and external programs and by the SAP System itself. An event is a signal that a certain status has been reached in the SAP System or in another program.
    With the start option after event, a "periodic" job is started again with each occurrence of a designated event.

Requirements

To print your list in the background, you have to have maintained all the print control parameters in the step Determine print control.

Standard settings

A standard report is proposed in the standard system.
