Background Processing: Subsequent Processing for Promotions
Use
If you have large volumes of data, it is recommended that you do subsequent processing in the background. The following reports can be run in the background:

These reports works the same way online subsequent processing They use existing settings within the promotion (for example, prices, price activation types, purchase price determination sequence, controls for generation of price conditions, allocation rules, announcement categories, and so on).
Activities
If you restrict the number of articles by entering selection parameters, then only these articles will be locked (that is, other users will not be able to access them). This allows several users to do subsequent processing for different articles in the same promotion at the same time (parallel processing). Conversely, if you do not limit the number of articles on the report's selection screen, then all articles will undergo subsequent processing. The entire promotion
- all the articles in it - will be locked for other users.
You cannot run two different programs at the same time for the same article. However, you can set the programs up to run one after the other for an article.
