• Key Concepts: 
  Intermediate timer event is a type of event in SAP Workflow Service Runtime (WFS) that is triggered when a certain amount of time has passed since the start of a workflow. It is used to pause the workflow for a certain amount of time before continuing. This allows for tasks to be completed in a certain order and for the workflow to be paused until the task is completed. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Intermediate timer events can be used in SAP Workflow Service Runtime (WFS) by creating an intermediate timer event in the workflow editor. This can be done by selecting the “Intermediate Timer Event” option from the “Events” tab in the editor. Once selected, you can set the duration of the timer and any other parameters that are needed. Once the timer is set, it will trigger when the specified amount of time has passed since the start of the workflow. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using intermediate timer events, it is important to ensure that all tasks that need to be completed before the timer event are completed in a timely manner. This will ensure that the workflow does not get stuck waiting for a task to be completed before continuing. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all parameters for the timer event are set correctly so that it triggers at the right time.
