top-level work item (BC-BMT-WFM)

SAP Business Workflow (BC-BMT-WFM)

Work item that is highest in the hierarchy in the execution of a workflow.

If a task is started as a single step, the associated dialog work item is the top-level work item. If a workflow has been started, the workflow work item is the top-level work item, unless the workflow was started as a subworkflow. If this is the case, the top-level work item is the workflow work item of the highest calling workflow.
