Evaluation Engine
Changes made to Sage 300 objects are first checked for workflows, then if the workflow criteria is evaluated as true, a workflow process is initiated.
Notifications
Email notifications are sent out to notify of qualified changes occurring in Sage 300, or of workflow approvals that require attention.
Approval Management
Approval are managed throughout the workflow, approvals can be made in Sage 300
Validation & Update Engine
Once a workflow has completed, and the transactions has been fully approved, the Validation & Update Engine check for any conflicts from workflow parallelism. If none, it will commit the original users update to Sage 300.

Batch-based Workflows
Batch-based workflows operate in a manner more appropriate to batch work. Users will create batch transactions as per normal including the batch checking; when the batch is requested to be set to Ready to Post, all transactions in the batch will then be evaluated for workflows.
If ensuing workflows are created, the batch assumes a new status of “Awaiting Approvals” and will be locked in this status until all of the issued workflows have completed.
Once all workflows have completed, the batch is ready for processing. In the case of AP Payments, any declined transactions can be removed from the batch, or optionally moved to a new batch in a similar manner to how error batches are created.
