  • Key Concepts: 
    A possible agent is a user or group of users who can be assigned to a task in SAP Business Workflow. It is the responsibility of the possible agent to decide whether or not to accept the task. The possible agent can also delegate the task to another user or group of users. 
    
    How to use it: 
    In order to assign a possible agent to a task, the workflow administrator must first create a workflow template. This template will define the tasks that need to be completed and the possible agents who can be assigned to each task. Once the template is created, the workflow administrator can assign a possible agent to each task. 
    
    Tips & Tricks: 
    When assigning possible agents, it is important to consider their availability and expertise. It is also important to ensure that the possible agents are aware of their responsibilities and have access to the necessary resources.
