The workflow plugin allows you to record the steps or processes of a task.

The different screens osFinancials / TurboCASH can be created such as the stock screen or debtors / creditors and documents. This allows you to record almost every conceivable process (steps) in a task, visualize and gain instant insight wherever you are in the process and what steps have been taken before.

A step can be assigned to a user and an administrator can see all workflow steps not done (outstanding steps) and possibly assign a task to a user. Outstanding transitions that are possible after showing the step.  

Workflow is a knowledge system that can gain your knowledge or just to share it with others. This allows you to formalize your business and capture the steps in an automated system.
