 Examples: Using Mass Processing

The following examples demonstrate possible uses for mass processing:

  • Rescheduling a small number of orders with date specification

    If you want to reschedule a small number of orders for a particular date without waiting for this process to be carried out, you can execute mass processing online and execute the function in the background, that is, the orders will be rescheduled immediately.

  • Rescheduling a large number of orders with date specification

    If you want to reschedule a large number of orders for a particular date and you want scheduling to be carried out at night, you can start mass processing online and create requests that will be processed in a background job scheduled to take place at night (planning program COWORKDISPATCH).

  • Periodically releasing a large numbers of orders

    If you want to periodically release a large number of orders that have reached or exceeded their release date, you can schedule the processing to take place in the background. To do this, schedule the program PPIO_ENTRY with immediate execution of the function in a background job.

  • Log viewing
