Documentation
Definition
A process type describes the structure of a business process in the form of a network structure. The nodes of the network are states or activities.
A business process begins in a defined start state (default &Start) and ends in a target state (default &FINISH).
An activity is selected and accessed from a state according to certain rules, which determine the transition from states to activities in the network. A state normally has just one subsequent activity.
The activities are implemented as function modules. The result of a function module (return code) determines the next state. In this way the return codes determine the transition from activities to states.
A graphical editor is not currently available. The process types are maintained in tabular form.
