SAP workflow refers to the specific functionality that SAP offers to automate and manage business processes within the SAP environment. They are also defined as the sequences of tasks that automate business processes with predefined rules and functions, such as approvals, document routing, and notifications.
The workflows help design simple to complex business processes, like approval processes, document management, sales order processing, creating a material master, and more. Users can manage and create workflows within the SAP system to ensure compliance with business processes. They automate the processes by routing the expense report to the relevant individuals based on predefined norms and roles.
