    Background processing involves running jobs asynchronously in the background to reduce load on dialog work processes. A job consists of one or more steps that can be ABAP programs, external commands, or external programs. Jobs are triggered based on time, events, or the completion of other jobs. The Job Wizard provides an easy way to define jobs by guiding the user through settings like general information, steps, and start conditions.
