• Key Concepts: 
  Secondary methods are a type of workflow step in SAP Business Workflow. They are used to define the processing logic for a workflow step, such as when to start or end the step, and what action should be taken when the step is completed. Secondary methods can also be used to define conditions that must be met before the workflow can proceed to the next step. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Secondary methods are defined in the workflow definition and can be used to control the flow of a workflow. For example, a secondary method can be used to define when a workflow should start or end, or what action should be taken when a step is completed. Secondary methods can also be used to define conditions that must be met before the workflow can proceed to the next step. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When defining secondary methods, it is important to consider how they will affect the overall flow of the workflow. For example, if a secondary method is defined that requires certain conditions to be met before the workflow can proceed, it is important to ensure that these conditions are met before proceeding with the workflow.
