1. Navigate to Accounting Home and click the Setup tab. Then, under the Automations menu, click Automated Jobs. The Automations screen displays.
2. From the Add/Edit a Scheduled Job section of the screen, click the Select Job drop-down list, and select Scheduled Post.
   
   
   
   The Select Scheduled Post Type(s) dialog box displays.
   
   
   
   
3. Select the checkbox that displays to the left of each Scheduled Post Type that you want to include to run at the same Preferred Start Time. One or more types can be selected.
   Note: If you want to schedule all to run at the same time, click the Select Schedule Post Types(s) checkbox.
   
4. Click the Preferred Start Time drop-down list to select the time that you want this scheduled job to run.
   
   Note: Once you select a Preferred Start Time to run a Scheduled Post Type, that time will no longer be available in the Preferred Start Time drop-down list. For example, you might schedule Billings to run at 12:00 AM. Once that job has been added, the 12:00 AM time will no longer be available in the Preferred Start Time drop-down list to select for other job types.
   
   Best Practice: The Scheduled Post job(s) should be the last automated job(s) that is scheduled. 
   
   
5. Click Add Scheduled Job(s). The new automated job displays on a row in the Scheduled Jobs data grid.

   Note: The same Scheduled Post Type(s) can be selected to run at a different Preferred Start Time. For example, the Cash Receipts Scheduled Post Type can be selected to run at 1:00 AM and again at 4:00 AM.
   
   
   
   
8. (Optional) Repeat steps 3-5 to schedule an additional job(s).
   
   Note: If you decide at some point that an automated job should be deleted, from the Action column on the data grid, click the Delete hyperlink for the row that should be deleted. Then, click OK to delete the job.

Notes:  

• If an AP Disbursement record is the result of clicking the Pay button on the Payable or if the record is a non-Accounting Inbound Inventory Movement and Outbound Inventory Movement, it will not be included in the Scheduled Post job. This will not be included even if the status is “Approved.”
• An email notification of all successful or failed jobs will be sent to the email address of the user who created the Scheduled Post job. For an existing Cash Disbursement or Cash Receipt to be included and posted by the Scheduled Post job, the Posting Status must be set to “Approved."
• The system will automatically create a new task for failed jobs. You can view tasks from your Homepage or click the Task link from the App launcher.
