Documentation

Each process started selects work packages from a worklist, completes the task, and then selects the next work package until all packages have been completed.
This procedure is implemented by splitting objects (for example, business partner or contract account) into intervals of similar size. When intervals are created (usually in background processing), their number or size can be defaulted. Depending on the situation, you may want to use different splits (variants). The number of intervals should increase in proportion to the number of processes to achieve an equal distribution of the processes.
