  • Key Concepts: 
    A decision task is a type of workflow task in SAP Business Workflow that requires a user to make a decision. This decision can be based on the data provided by the workflow or on the user's own judgment. The decision task is used to control the flow of the workflow and can be used to determine which steps should be taken next. 
    
    How to use it: 
    To use a decision task, the user must first define the conditions that will determine the outcome of the decision. These conditions can be based on data from the workflow or on the user's own judgment. Once these conditions are defined, the user must then specify what action should be taken depending on the outcome of the decision. This action can be anything from sending an email notification to executing a specific program. 
    
    Tips & Tricks: 
    When creating a decision task, it is important to consider all possible outcomes and ensure that each outcome has an associated action. This will ensure that no matter what happens, there is an action that will be taken in response. Additionally, it is important to consider how long it will take for a user to make a decision and adjust the time limit accordingly.
