• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ATL/CASHIR213 - The process must be run in the background ?

  The SAP error message /ATL/CASHIR213 The process must be run in the background typically indicates that a certain process or transaction cannot be executed in the foreground and must be run as a background job instead. This is common in scenarios where the process is resource-intensive or requires a longer execution time, which could lead to performance issues if run interactively.
  Cause:
  
  Resource-Intensive Process: The transaction or report you are trying to execute may involve a large amount of data processing, which is better suited for background execution.

  Solution:
  
  
  Run as Background Job:
  
  Go to the transaction code SM36 (Define Background Job).
