1. Overview
Workflow refers to the complete process of a business that occurs within an enterprise from initiation to completion, which is completed by multiple departments, multiple positions, coordinated through multiple links and sequential work. Simply put, a workflow is the process of converting a set of inputs into an output.
For example, in the purchase order made earlier, after the purchaser initiates the process, it needs to be approved by the purchasing minister, and then approved by the finance department. After the approval, the purchase order will take effect. How to do this?
