Guide covers Basic Functions / Mass Processing

Introduction

Business processes that process large volumes of data, such as the payment or dunning run, are performed in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable by mass activities. Mass activities automatically distribute the dataset to be processed, such as a set of business partners or contract accounts, to several technical jobs and process them in parallel.

With the mass activity you can process large data volumes in the minimum amount of time. There are a lot of FI-CA functionalities which use the parallel data processing in mass runs. You can also create your own installation-specific mass activities.

All mass activities have a uniform layout. You enter data on the following tabs:

General Selections
Activity-Specific Selections
Technical Settings
Logs

On the Technical Settings tab, you can choose either an automatic load distribution made by the system, where you enter only the number of jobs, or an explicit load distribution.

For mass activities that post, such as dunning, payments, and interest calculations, you can define a reservation key for reconciliation keys in Customizing. This ensures that not all mass activities access the same origin key.

additional number ranges must be defined for mass processing business transactions (parallel) like (invoicing, payment run).

The key for the mass processing number range must begin with a letter. Since parallel mass background processes obtain their document numbers from these number range intervals, they must be defined based on the expected data volume and the number of parallel background processes.
