- In the Master Planning module, open "Master planning", "Run" and "Master planning". - Set the parameters for the master planning run, such as the master plan to run. - Expand "Run in background" and enable "Run in batch". - Click "Recurrence" and set up the schedule and recurrence to run at 3am in the UTC-8 timezone. - Click "OK" to close the recurrence form. - Click "OK" to create the batch job.

The proposed answer only creates an empty batch job, which will never run any master planning. The recommended approach is to: - In the Master Planning module, open "Master planning", "Run" and "Master planning". - Set the parameters for the master planning run, such as the master plan to run. - Expand "Run in background" and enable "Run in batch". - Click "Recurrence" and set up the schedule and recurrence to run at 3am in the UTC-8 timezone. - Click "OK" to close the recurrence form. - Click "OK" to create the batch job.

You need to add Batch task as well, if you go this weird way ;)
