• Key Concepts: 
  Successor is a term used in the SAP Application Platform (AP) to refer to a process or task that follows another process or task. It is used to define the order in which tasks are executed and the dependencies between them. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP AP, successors are used to define the order in which tasks are executed. For example, if a task A needs to be completed before task B can be started, then task A is defined as the predecessor of task B and task B is defined as the successor of task A. This ensures that task B will not be started until task A has been completed. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When defining successors in SAP AP, it is important to ensure that all tasks have a predecessor and successor defined. This will ensure that all tasks are executed in the correct order and that no tasks are skipped or left out.
