Hi Sravani,

In addition to above explanation by Naga, you can have a look at below document also which explains how to set up macro execution through DP Mass Processing Jobs and how it can be used in Process chains too.

Hope it helps and provides additional useful information.

Regards,

Alok

Hi,

Mass processing;

During the demand planning process, planners will typically be working with large

amounts of production/location combinations. This may be further complicated by use

of customers, divisions, product Hierarchies, or several other organizational attributes.

An interactive execution of the complete demand planning process is thus not possible.

To simplify and speed up this process, many of the steps will be performed in a batch

or background job that processes many different characteristic value combinations one

after another. SAP refers to this process as Mass Processing.

The demand planning process is normally organized in cycles. At the beginning

of a cycle, new historical data is loaded and characteristic value combinations are

generated through batch processing. Then the forecasts are calculated. Afterwards,

demand planners have time to check their forecasts and make corrections. At the end

of the cycle, the demand plan is calculated and released.

Doing one or a particular task is nothing but background job.

majority of the demand planning process will be performed

by background jobs, planners will be responsible for performing interactive planning

on a periodical basis. It is important that all planners are able to navigate in the

interactive planning table and enter and analyze data.
