Background Jobs in SAP Logistics Execution

This blog post is basically for the Functional Consultants to understand and identify the programs which are required to process for background jobs in SAP WMS. Most business processes required some automated jobs with specific schedule times to monitor and process functions in a better manner. I saw some of the clients, who are already having batch jobs in their legacy systems which are required to map in SAP. Here I am going to share some of the programs with variants to run background jobs in SAP Logistics execution area.


Before any background processing can actually begin, background jobs must be defined and scheduled. You can Directly Define a Job from Transaction SM36. This is best for users already familiar with background job scheduling.

Every background job set up requires a 1) Program name 2) Variant and 3) Schedule time to run the job.

Example: Delivery creation Program though background job Tcode: VL10G

Create Job with Tcode: SM36

5.save

8.Enter “date/time or immediate button”
