Effective Date

Date on which a table row becomes effective; the date that an action begins. For example, if you want to close out a ledger on June 30, the effective date for the ledger closing would be July 1. This date also determines when you can view and change the information. Pages or panels and batch processes that use the information use the current row.

Once: Executes the request the next time the batch process runs. After the batch process runs, the process frequency is automatically set to Don't Run.

Always: Executes the request every time the batch process runs.

Don't Run: Ignores the request when the batch process runs.
