• Key Concepts: 
  A missed deadline work item is a type of workflow item in SAP Business Workflow that is triggered when a task or process has not been completed by its due date. This type of workflow item is used to alert the responsible user or users that the task or process needs to be completed as soon as possible.
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use a missed deadline work item, the user must first create a workflow definition that includes the missed deadline work item. This workflow definition must include the task or process that needs to be completed, as well as the due date for completion. Once the workflow definition is created, it can be triggered when the due date is reached and the task or process has not been completed. The missed deadline work item will then be sent to the responsible user or users, alerting them that the task or process needs to be completed as soon as possible.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a workflow definition with a missed deadline work item, it is important to ensure that the due date is set correctly. If the due date is set too far in advance, it may not be noticed until it is too late. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the responsible user or users are aware of their responsibilities and are able to complete the task or process in a timely manner.
