    Isn't it better to ask "will it have any positive effect"? As mentioned above, it would not have any impact so why would you want to change it?

    Hi Rahmat,

    The number of helpers used during master planning must be less than or equal to the maximum number of threads that are allowed on the batch server. If the number of helpers exceeds the number of threads on the batch server, the extra threads won't do any work.

    This Doc is D365FO, but the same work as AX: docs.microsoft.com/.../master-planning-performance

    You can try to refer these Docs: docs.microsoft.com/.../configure-an-aos-instance-as-a-batch-server
