RE: BPCS Month-end close processes

We are currently running the following BPCS month end jobs with the total
elapsed time for all these job of approximately 18 - 20 hrs. The list is as
follows:

   Inventory Month End Close (INV903)
   Accounts Receivable Period Close (ACR900)
   Accounts Payable Month-End Close (ACP900)
   Purchasing Month-End Close (PUR900)
   Lot, Location, Container Records without Inventory (INV970)
   Update IIM from ILI file (INV972)
   Cleanup FMA and FOD files (SFC990)
   Cleanup ECL and ECS files (ORD990)
   Cleanup Allocations (SYS990)
   Reset On Order Allocated (INV971)
   Delete IWI Records (INV973)
   Reorganize Notes Files (SYS994)

Since our fiscal month-end is the same as the calendar month-end and this
sometimes falls outside of the weekend, the total processing time affects system
availability. Has anyone tried or been successful with running any of these jobs
simultaneously. We are planning on running some tests this month and welcome any
input from others that might have already tried this.

Regards,
Wayne Sheehan
