Nope you have it wrong

The automatic cost posting works differently to how you think, as does the expected cost posting - these really are not related to working hours and running the job. You need to know whether to post costs at the time of systme processing, and then if you want the interim costs posted as well.

How often you run this depends on the business and the costing method and the processing, so I have seen all of the settings you describe used. I would answer that you need to run this as frequently as you need to run it to see adjusted costs.

It depends upon the period in the “Automatic Cost Adjustment” field, but I would still answer yes, run the routine to ensure you have everything.

There simply is no “best” you have to apply it to the needs of the business. Set teh automatic cost adjustment appropriate to the business and run teh batch jobs as often as the business needs.
