Hi

Foreground

1. you run directly the transaction VL04.

2. The performance can be bad.

3. The user is always the user id of the person.

4. The deliveries always will be pulled according to user setup (tcode SU3) time zone, languange etc.

5. foreground may give you option of creating deliveries individual, collective processing etc.

Background

1. You setup a job using the tcode VL04 using SM36 and monitor using SM37

2. Performance is good.

3. THe user can be changed according to the country, time zone by creating and using new batch users.

4. The deliveries are created individually but they are created a part of one collective processing document.

5. Deliveries are pulled according to the batch users eventhough you have setup the job.

Hope this wil help you to give 5 differences.

Kind Regards

foreground means suppose if ur creating delivery using tcode Vl01N this process is called foreground, nothing but visible to the eye is called foreground.

Suppose if u take large company lot of delivaries has to processed everyday, it doesnt possible to create each and every delivery by using VL01N tcode so they schedule the batch job ai some specific to create deliveries in background by using tcode VL10BATCH tocode,the creation odf delivaies in background nothing but backgroung processing of delivaries.
