Periodic tasks include reports on the daily processing of accounts and business transactions. The sequence in which you run these reports and their interdependencies depend on the configuration of your system. You define the order in which the system runs the reports, and how the reports interrelate, according to your business needs.
The periodic tasks listed here help to keep your SAP system stable.
