About Auto-Posting and Data Collection Background Tasks

On the Background Task Definitions form, you can see all of the available DCPost... tasks. Notice that they all have Concurrency set to 1, which means that only one instance of this task can run at a time. Do not change that setting, because it prevents different instances of the same background posting tasks from running simultaneously if you accidentally set the task run times to overlap.

To determine if a recurring data collection background task is set up to run, go to the Active Background Tasks form and look for these background tasks that are associated with the Auto-Post options:


Post Option	Background Task
Auto-Post Receiving	DCPostPurchaseOrderReceiving
Auto-Post Shipping	DCPostCustomerOrderShipping
Auto-Post Cycle Count	DCPostCycleCounting
Auto-Post Misc Issue/Receipt Qty Adjust	DCPostMiscIssue/ReceiptandQuantityAdjust
Auto-Post Quantity Move	DCPostQuantityMove
Auto-Post Job Material	DCPostJobMaterial
Auto-Post Job Receipt	DCPostJobReceipt
Auto-Post Transfer Ship	DCPostTransferShip
Auto-Post Transfer Receipt	DCPostTransferReceipt
Auto-Post Mfg Labor	DCPostMfgLabor
Auto-Post Time/Attendance	DCPostTime/Attendance
Auto-Post Production Schedule	DCPostProductionSchedule
Auto-Post JIT	DCPostJIT
Auto-Post Work Center Material	DCPostWorkCenterMaterial

Note: The Auto-Post Job Transactions option does not have its own background task, since it is used to turn on more processing for the Auto-Post Manufacturing Labor task.

To find out the times and dates when the task is scheduled to run, look at the SQL job in the database.
