The information to fill in to schedule a background process is:

• select the Organization for which the background process is going to be schedule
• select the Process to schedule from the list of processes available
• select the Timing. Timing options available are:
  • Run Inmediately, this one does not required to enter any additional parameter values but just to press the action button "Schedule Process".
  • Run Later, this one requires to enter additional parameter values prior to "Schedule the Process":
    • the Start Date
    • and the Start Time
  • Schedule, this one requires to also enter additional information:
    • the Start Date
    • the Start Time
    • the Frequency, options available are options such as "Every n seconds", "Every n minutes", "Hourly", "Daily", etc. Depending on the frequency selected two new fields are populated to enter:
      • the "Interval in Seconds" and the "Number of Repetitions"
      • the "Interval in Minutes" and the "Number of Repetitions"
      • the "Hourly Interval" and the "Number of Repetitions"
      • the "Daily options" and the "Daily Interval"
      • etc.

• select the "Security based on Role" checkbox to get that only the user who schedules a process can monitor it in the process monitor window,
  otherwise any user sharing the same role as the one who scheduled the process will be allowed to monitor it.
  In both cases it is required that the role have access to the process in the process access tab of the Role window.
• and finally configure by when a process needs to finish. "Finishes" field allows to enter:
  • a Finish Date
  • and a Finish Time

Process defined as "Run Inmediately" and "Run Later" can either be Scheduled or Rescheduled.
Process defined as "Schedule" can either be Scheduled or Unschedule.

Costing Background Process

The Costing Background Process is the process in charge of searching for goods transactions such as:

• Goods Receipts
• Goods Shipments
• Physical Inventory
• Goods Movements
• Internal Consumptions
• and Productions

for which its cost has not been calculated yet.

This process considers only transactions having its "Costing Status" property as:

• "Not Calculated"
• or "Pending".

Costing background process:

• calls the Costing Server process which calculates the cost of each transaction
• and takes into account what configured in the Costing Rule defined for the products, therefore either "Warehouse" dimension is taking into account while calculating the costs, or either "average" or "standard" cost is calculated for the products.

The transactions are calculated sequentially ordered by the Transaction Process date that is the date and time when the document that originated the transaction was processed.

If the Costing Server throws an error the background process stops and it is not possible to calculate any new transaction cost until the error is fixed.
The error message can be checked in the Process Monitor window. Note that although the Costing Background might have failed the process monitor might show a Success. Please refer to the Process Log field to get the real result message.

Some costing algorithms such as "FIFO" implement the "Pending" Costing Status as a way to delay the cost calculation of a given transaction/s until the next run.
This way the costing calculation process is not stopped for the rest of the transactions having a Not Calculated or Pending status, for which it is possible to calculate the cost.

Price Correction Background Process

Price correction background process searches for Goods Receipts that:

• either have a purchase order related which has been reactivated and booked after completing the Goods Receipts
• or have a purchase invoice related

After that this process checks and compares whether:

• order purchase price has been changed before booking the invoice
• invoice purchase price is not the same as purchase order price

If the purchase price has changed a Price Correction cost adjustment is created for the products included in the Goods Receipt(s).

There is a process named "Process Price Different Adjustment" that manually adjusts if required all Goods Receipts already invoiced prior upgrading Openbravo 3 instance to manage Cost Adjustments feature.

Process Group

Process Request has been modified in order to be able to schedule a process group. There is a check Group. Marking the check a field called Process Group will appear and you will be able to select a Process Group.

The schedule of a process group will work exactly as the schedule of a single process. Is not possible to schedule a process group and a single process at the same time.
