The Business Workplace provides a standard working environment in which every R/3 user can carry out their share of the business and communication processes in the enterprise. There, they receive all the work items that are assigned to them in the course of SAP Business Workflow and process the documents that were sent to them from people or from R/3 applications. Each user has a folder in which they can manage documents and work processes. Furthermore, each user can read information that has been published within their work group or throughout the company or make this information available themselves.

The users who participate in SAP Business Workflow in their enterprise must have the Business Workplace. The sending of documents to and from the R/3 applications is also handled by the Business Workplace. Therefore, a direct link to the Business Workplace is provided in many applications. In addition, these components can be used for all the internal and external mailing of a company. You can use the Business Workplace via the interface of MAPI-compatible clients, for example Microsoft Outlook. Furthermore, the Business Workplace is also available as an Internet Application Component.
