• Key Concepts: 
  Process time is a term used in SAP Business Workflow to refer to the amount of time it takes for a workflow to be completed. It is measured from the moment the workflow is initiated until it is completed. This includes any delays that may occur due to external factors, such as waiting for user input or waiting for a system response. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Process time can be used to measure the efficiency of a workflow. It can also be used to identify areas where improvements can be made, such as reducing wait times or streamlining processes. Additionally, process time can be used to compare different workflows and determine which one is more efficient. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  To reduce process time, it is important to identify and address any bottlenecks in the workflow. This could include reducing wait times for user input or streamlining processes by automating certain tasks. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all users involved in the workflow are aware of their responsibilities and are able to complete them in a timely manner.
