Workflows are automation tools which help an organization to automate the checks and balances while efficiently executing a business process in an end-to-end manner. As you can imagine, there are various people belonging to various departments who work in an interdependent mesh to fulfill the business process. Also, certain users participate only on a needed basis. For example, consider a scenario where if a purchase order worth more than $ 100,000 is raised, it needs an approval from the purchase head. In this case, purchase head’s participation is limited to reviewing and approval of large purchase orders only.
A workflow is a great tool to streamline the process and to have a better coordination among the business stakeholders. Apart from notifying the business users when their participation is required, it also executes checks and balances in an automated manner.
Workflow enables the user to add payment and update payment response in Eccommerce and enable the execution and data sync between eCommerce & ERP. Learn more about Workflow Execution with Acknowledgement Data!
