1. Run Transaction SM36.

There you can find a button "Job Wizard".

hey sandra,

well u can do background job scedhuling using the folllowing transaction..

sm36 by using the job scehduling wizard.

the stpes are:

1. Call transaction SM36.

2. Give a job name.

3. Set the job?s priority, ie. High, Medium or Low priority.

4. Define when the job is to start by choosing Start Condition and completing the appropriate selections. If the job is to repeat, or be periodic, check the box at the bottom of this screen.

5. Define the job?s steps by choosing Step, then specify the ABAP program to be used for each step.

6. Save the fully defined job to submit it to the background processing system.

7. Release the job.

For scheduling the job to run every night automatically.

In start condition go to Date/Time, then enter the time to start the job.

Click on Period Values and choose Daily and save.

this wud solve ur periodical night scheduling problem.
