You can schedule your reports to run daily, weekly, monthly, etc using the job scheduling, transaction SM36. You can create periodic jobs which run, then schedule a new job for the next interval. You can also schedule against a calendar, so if you have a calendar which shows working days(without sat, sun), the job would only run on weekdays.

Hi,

May once the develpoment and testing is done, The programs need to be executed in the background.

There is a option for reports to run in the background (F9). Using this you can schedule the report to run in aspecific time in the back ground.

Check the below link for more details.
