• Key Concepts: 
  Process component is a term used in SAP Application Platform (AP) to refer to a set of related processes that are used to achieve a specific business goal. Process components are made up of individual processes, which are the basic building blocks of the AP. Process components can be used to create complex applications that can be deployed across multiple systems.
  
  How to use it: 
  Process components are used to create applications in SAP Application Platform. To create an application, users must first define the process components that will make up the application. Once the process components have been defined, users can then configure the individual processes within each component. This includes setting up parameters, defining data sources, and creating user interfaces. Once the application is configured, it can be deployed across multiple systems.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating process components, it is important to consider how they will interact with each other and how they will be used in the application. It is also important to consider how the individual processes within each component will interact with each other and how they will be used in the application. Additionally, it is important to consider how the data sources and user interfaces will be configured for each process component.
