• Key Concepts: 
  Event-driven process chain (EPC) is a feature of SAP's AcceleratedSAP (SV-ASA) that allows users to automate and manage business processes. It enables users to define a sequence of tasks that are triggered by events, such as the completion of a task or the arrival of new data. The EPC can be used to automate processes such as order processing, invoicing, and customer service. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the EPC, users must first define the sequence of tasks that need to be performed. This can be done by creating a workflow diagram that outlines the steps in the process. Once the workflow is defined, users can then create an event-driven process chain that will trigger each task in the sequence when an event occurs. The EPC can also be used to monitor and control the progress of each task in the sequence. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating an EPC, it is important to consider how each task in the sequence will be triggered. For example, if a task is triggered by an incoming email, then it is important to ensure that the email address is correctly configured. Additionally, it is important to consider how long each task should take and how often it should be repeated.
