Non-workflow business processes store data and do not have routing capability. As with all business processes they have an upper form and may, or may not, have line items. You can use them when you need to access a single source for your data. Non-workflow business processes comprise both single and multiple-type business processes. For example:
- A project may require a "gold-standard" data sheet; a single-type business process suits the purpose because you only need one record.
- A company may use many vendors; a multiple-type business process suits the purpose because you can create many unique records that collect similar data
A non-workflow business process does not generate tasks and is viewable in its business process log or in the Data Manager, provided you have permissions. When you save a non-workflow business you can save it in either edit mode or read-only mode. If the record is in a terminal status and you click Finish Editing to save it, the record becomes permanently read-only with no way to return it to edit mode.
