Understanding the F0911 Table

The volume of records stored in the F0911 table can affect processing time when you run the conversion workbench. To reduce the processing time, you can create and run multiple versions of the Convert F0911 Base Currency program (R890911E) from different workstations.

Before you create and run multiple versions of the Convert F0911 Base Currency program, analyze the batch types and batch numbers of the records in the F0911 table, and look for a logical way in which to group the records into equal parts (or versions).

After you carefully analyze the data, review this information to understand how the Convert F0911 Base Currency program works and to help ensure that you set up the versions correctly:

  • Create versions of the Convert F0911 Base Currency program by either batch type (ICUT) or batch number (ICU), or by a range of batch types or batch numbers.

    Although you can create versions of the conversion program by both batch type and batch number, be aware that you might convert the same record twice or not convert a record at all.

  • Set up unique conversion plans to run multiple versions of the Convert F0911 Base Currency program.

    Remember that conversion plans can contain one or more companies. Within a conversion plan, you can run only one version of the Convert F0911 Base Currency program. When you run multiple versions of the Convert F0911 Base Currency program, you are actually running multiple plans for that conversion program.

  • Verify that each record is selected by only one version and that there is no overlapping of records among the version if you create versions of the conversion program using a range.

    If you decide to run the Convert F0911 Base Currency program by range of batch types, verify that you do not convert the same batch type twice.

    For example, if you convert batch types A through F in one version, do not convert batch types E through J in the other. This also applies to a range of batch numbers. Verify that each F0911 record is included in one of the versions and that you do not omit any batch types or batch numbers.
