• Key Concepts: 
  A preceding transaction is a type of business transaction in SAP CRM-BTX. It is used to link two or more transactions together, allowing them to be processed as a single unit. This type of transaction is often used when there are multiple steps involved in a process, such as when creating an order or invoice. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use a preceding transaction, you must first create the main transaction. This is the transaction that will be linked to the other transactions. Once the main transaction has been created, you can then create the other transactions and link them to the main one using the “preceding transaction” field. This will allow all of the transactions to be processed as a single unit. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a preceding transaction, it is important to make sure that all of the transactions are linked correctly. If any of the transactions are not linked correctly, then they will not be processed as part of the same unit. Additionally, it is important to make sure that all of the transactions are completed before submitting them for processing.
