  • Key Concepts: 
    A wait step work item is a type of work item in SAP Business Workflow. It is used to pause the workflow until a certain condition is met. This condition can be either a time-based condition or an event-based condition. The wait step work item can also be used to wait for user input before continuing the workflow. 
    
    How to use it: 
    To use a wait step work item, you must first create the workflow and add the wait step work item. You then need to specify the condition that must be met before the workflow can continue. This can be done by setting a time-based condition or an event-based condition. Once the condition is met, the workflow will continue. 
    
    Tips & Tricks: 
    When using a wait step work item, it is important to ensure that the condition you set is achievable. If the condition is not achievable, then the workflow will never continue and will remain in a paused state. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the wait step work item is placed in the correct position in the workflow so that it does not delay other tasks unnecessarily.
