Program name for RA in background job?

Hello

I have a problem setting up a background job for RA and settlement of WBS elements.

I have created a selection variant (RKPSEL00) containing the relevant WBS elements and a settlement variant (RKO7CJ8G), but unfortunately I can't find out which programname I have to use in SM36 for the RA jobs. Is it RKPSEL00 or is it SAPKKA00 (KKAJ)? I don't succeed with any of them. If I choose RKPSEL00 I am not able to choose periods. Maybe I have to use a third program for executing the RA job in background?

Hopefully somebody can/will assist me 🐵

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

It is RKPSEL00. However i would request you to elaborate on your issue. We are also using the functionality of running RA in the background and are using the same program. We dont seem to face any issues.

Kindly let us know what is the exact problem you are facing. It would help us in reaching a solution sooner.

Hello

Thank you for your reply.

From my point of view it seems a little strange that it is RKPSEL00 which is to be used as there are no 'Period' selection option. In RKPSEL00 you only select the relevant WBS elements.

If I choose job RKPSEL00 I just get status 'canceled' when executing the background job...

Hi,

As per my knowledge period selection option is not there in the program RKPSEL00 since KKAJ/CJ8G are run only for a single period at a time. There is no option of selecting multiple periods. RA is one of the processes belonging to the Period End process and Period End itself states that RA or Settlement can be run for periods that are open. Before running RA/settlement for the next period the previous period has to be closed.

For all other categories you can have multiple options in the selection variant but for period you cannot and infact dont need multiple options. I am not sure as to why you are getting the "cancelled" message while executing the background job. Let me know the process you are doing in steps. Maybe i or our other experts can help you out.

Hi again

Thank you very much for supporting me!

The background job is running perfectly! I haven't been aware of (known) that the RKPSEL00 job was executed automatically by period.

Below is my understanding of kkaj

program name is SAPKKA00BG.

It is capable of processing multiple WBS codes at the same time.

It is a b/g job that triggers multiple dialog processes in parallel.

What I mean by that is that you'll be able to see the progress of the job in terms of percentage in the job logs in sm37, at the same time you'll be able to see the lines it is processing in sm66.
