Purpose
This process describes how you can schedule a job to be run in the background at a certain date and time.
Process Flow
There are two simple steps to this process:
Within an application, such as FI, you can start a batch job at a certain date and time which corresponds to the local date and time of the database server.
For example, to carry out a background job in FI, from the SAP main menu, choose Accounting ® Financial Accounting ® Accounts Receivable ® Periodic processing ® Dunning.
For production planning in logistics, choose Logistics ® Production ® MRP ® Planning ® Total planning ® As background job from the SAP main menu.
Controlling the Execution of the Batch Job
To run the background job overview, choose Tools ®
CCMS ® Jobs ® Maintenance from the SAP main menu.Important! The selection and display of start dates and times is relative to the database server. If you are in a location other than the location of the database server, adjust your selection accordingly. For example, if your local time is six hours ahead of the server time, you need to adjust the time for the batch job to be executed six hours earlier.
