Hi Gaurav,

Batch sequence is just a serial number. This cannot be changed once saved.

Dialog sequence is the sequence in which the partner determination happens.

For eg: Suppose the dialog sequence is 10, 30, 20 then after the first row is considered for partner determination, if no partner is found then it wont go to the next row but will go to the last row with dialog sequence 20 and then to the second row with dialog sequence 30 for partner determination.

The advantage being that, once you have an access sequence u need not delete the rows to change the sequence u can just change the dialog sequence as per your requirement.

Hope this helps.

Dear MG,

But we enter only one no(for example 2) in the dialog sequence right.So in that case where else the system does look for the accesses on source data?

Batch sequence importance was not discussed yet.If its just a serial no,can it be skipped off?If not why?
