Defining business events

To trigger workflows for reviewing actions on business entity records and relationships or publish events to external targets, define business events.
To ensure that business managers review and approve data before it becomes master data, define business events. These events trigger workflows that consist of multiple tasks linked together.
Define business events for the following actions:
The review tasks that business events create require human intervention. The business process is completed only when the users with user roles associated with the review tasks take appropriate actions.
To publish events from the business applications to external targets, define publishing events after you define user-triggered and system-generated events.
