• Key Concepts: 
  Background action is a feature of the CAF-GP (CAF Guided Procedures) component of SAP. It allows users to execute a task in the background, without having to wait for the task to finish before continuing with other tasks. This feature is especially useful for long-running tasks that would otherwise take up valuable time and resources. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use background action, users must first create a task in the CAF-GP component. Once the task is created, users can select the “Background Action” option from the task menu. This will start the task running in the background, allowing users to continue with other tasks while the background action is running. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using background action, it is important to remember that the task will continue running until it is manually stopped or completed. Therefore, it is important to monitor the progress of the task and make sure that it does not run for too long or consume too many resources.
