• Key Concepts: 
  Serial workflow is a feature of SAP SRM-EBP-CON Contract Management that allows users to create a series of tasks that must be completed in a specific order. This ensures that all tasks are completed in the correct sequence and that no steps are missed. It also allows users to track the progress of each task and view the status of the entire workflow. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use serial workflow, users must first create a workflow template. This template defines the tasks that must be completed in order for the workflow to be successful. Once the template is created, users can assign tasks to specific users or groups and set deadlines for each task. The workflow will then be triggered when all tasks have been completed in the correct order. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a serial workflow, it is important to ensure that all tasks are clearly defined and that deadlines are realistic. It is also important to assign tasks to the right people or groups so that they can complete them in a timely manner. Additionally, it is helpful to set up notifications so that users can be alerted when tasks are due or when they have been completed.
