Definition

If the indicator is set then the inbound processing of the application uses one free dialog process for each IDoc packet on the application server ('asynchronous RFC' is used for this). This means that the packets can be processed in parallel. If several IDoc packets have been selected, then the IDoc processing will occupy all the dialog processes on the application server.

If the indicator is not set then the IDocs will not be processed in parallel. This means that each packet will passed to the application in turn. Only one work process will be used for this action on the application server.
