Processing Actions in RSPPFPROCESS

Question

Hello,
i created for my opportunity process type a new action profile.
One of the new actions is to create a follow-up task if the opportunity end date is reached but the status is still open.
This works fine in my test environment.
My question is:
What happens to the more than 1000 opportunities already created in production bevor i transported this changes?
Will this activity be created also for this older opportunities?
Or will this activity only be created for new opportunities after this changes?
My requirement is to have the activity also for the older opportunities.
Thanks for your answer
Best regards
Manfred

Answer 1

Will this activity be created also for this older opportunities?
No.
In the Action Settings for your action definition, check the setting Processing Time. It can be
1. Processing Using Selection Report
3. Immediate Processing
4. Processing When Saving Document
By choosing option 1, It is also possible that the actions are first only scheduled and processing is not started until later using a selection report or by a user in the document. Use report program RSPPFPROCESS or transaction SPPFP. Once you have finished your backlog transactions in the production system, change your "Processing Time" to 3 or 4 and transport again.
