Definition

If this indicator is set in steps in a process flow template, these steps can only be started by an external trigger. This means that if, during the processing of a process flow (job net), the processing reaches a step in which this indicator is set, the processing ends there. The process flow only continues once the BAPI JobCtrlFS.start is called up. This BAPI triggers the start of the processing. The reverse is also true: Steps in which the indicator is blank cannot be started externally.
