Performance Considerations
The time it takes to process a large volume of records using the Scheduled SFM Process feature has been benchmarked with a standard SFM Transaction. The average processing times for Scheduled SFM Processes are published below. These are based on tests executed for up to 1000 work orders, with 5 work details for each work order. The standard SFM Transaction Create Shipment From Work Order (TDM007) was used for running the benchmarks. These benchmarks are for guidance only and actual times may vary depending on service availability.
• Up to about 250 work orders, the time taken to process one record is 4 to 5 seconds:
◦ Average time taken to process 100 work orders with 500 work detail lines: 8 minutes
◦ Average time taken to process 200 work orders with 1000 work detail lines: 15 minutes
• Above 500 work orders, the time taken to process one record is 3+ seconds
◦ Average time taken to process 500 work orders with 2500 work detail lines: 24 minutes
◦ Average time taken to process 1000 work orders with 5000 work detail lines: 54 minutes
