Using Job Queues to Schedule Tasks
Payment Management uses the Business Central Job queue functionality to streamline business processes and process repetitive tasks automatically. A job queue uses the task scheduler to let you view, create, or modify jobs that are set to run specific codeunits in the background. You can set jobs to run one time or regularly.
Key considerations before working with job queues
Before you start working with job queues, the following must be taken into account:
- Delegated users lack the necessary permissions to start job queues. Please ensure the task is performed by a user with the proper permission assigned.
- Before activating job queues related to importing and reconciling bank statements, customers with Dutch and UK banks must import and reconcile the first bank account to enable the job queues.
- Only adjust the recurrence interval as needed, and avoid making other manual configurations to job queues. Changes beyond the recurrence interval can affect the functionality of the jobs or tasks triggered by the job queue.
