Ability to Control Timing within Pipeline Jobs

You can now insert a Wait within a pipeline job to pause execution for a specified duration between steps. This allows you to control the timing of sequential processes, such as spacing out job executions to prevent system bottlenecks.

Applies to: Account Reconciliation, Enterprise Profitability and Cost Management, Financial Consolidation and Close, FreeForm, Planning, Profitability and Cost Management, Tax Reporting

Business Benefit: This enhancement provides greater control over pipeline execution and helps prevent performance issues caused by overlapping processes. By introducing intentional delays between resource-intensive tasks, organizations can reduce system congestion, improve post-processing efficiency, and eliminate the need for custom workarounds such as Groovy-based delay scripts.
