How to run inventory closing reverse Multithreading

Business value:  

Inventory closing reverse creates batch jobs for each impacted item which might throttle the batch server if there are too many items. This feature enables the process to use the 'Extra batch helpers' which is currently used by the inventory closing process. Please can adjust the setting to optimize the performance considering your environment.

Enable feature: Enable user-defined batch number setup for inventory closing reverse:

• Navigate to workspaces > Feature management.
• Select feature name ‘Enable user-defined batch number setup for inventory closing reverse and then, in the details pane, select Enable Now. The feature is turned on.
• Please refer to the following link for Feature management overview.

• The feature has been initially released for APP 10.0.18 and then it has been backported to earlier versions, so you have to deploy the following fix as per the available quality update of the support version. “When an inventory close is cancelled, items are not bundled, instead a batch task is created for each item.”
