Background Processing of Fixed Assets

To optimize application and database servers, mechanisms have been implemented to manage SuiteScript usage. SuiteScript thresholds are based on the volume of activity that a company's users can manually generate, as well as a provision for automated functions.

That's why FAM transactions and report generation processes run in the background, managed by scheduled server scripts and process records.
