Follow Background
While working on my Purchase Order Scenario in SAP Build Process Automation I stumbled upon a very interesting feature – after
Like doing some research on our Help-Portal I found this has been released very recently. It’s the latest functionality to add a timed wait
inside your process logic, which I am going to show you right now!

As an example I have created a small workflow scenario to generate Purchase Orders in SAP ECC based on an approval step in
between. Inside the process logic, I have added some triggers, forms and Mail-notifications to involve certain business-users.
