• Key Concepts: 
  Extended approval tasks are a type of workflow task in SAP Business Workflow. They are used to route documents for approval to multiple users, and allow for the approval process to be customized. The task can be configured to require all users to approve the document, or it can be set up so that only one user needs to approve it. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use extended approval tasks, you must first create a workflow template. This template will define the steps of the approval process, including who will be responsible for approving the document and what conditions must be met for the document to be approved. Once the template is created, you can then assign an extended approval task to a document. This will trigger the workflow and route the document to the appropriate users for approval. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating an extended approval task, it is important to consider how many users need to approve the document and what conditions must be met for it to be approved. This will help ensure that the workflow runs smoothly and that all necessary approvals are obtained. Additionally, it is important to keep track of who has approved the document and when, as this information can be used to troubleshoot any issues that may arise during the approval process.
