    A workflow task is a unit of work that is assigned to a user or group of users in SAP Business Workflow. It is used to define the steps that need to be taken in order to complete a process. The workflow task can be triggered by an event, such as a change in data, or manually by a user. 
    
    How to use it: 
    In order to use workflow tasks, you must first create a workflow definition. This definition will define the steps that need to be taken in order to complete the process. Once the definition is created, you can assign the workflow task to a user or group of users. The user or group of users will then be able to view and complete the task.

    When creating a workflow definition, it is important to consider the order of the steps and how they will interact with each other. It is also important to consider how long each step should take and how much time should be allocated for each step. Additionally, it is important to consider who should be assigned the task and what type of notification should be sent when the task is completed.
