Visibility processes are predefined scenarios delivered by SAP. They enable you to monitor one or more stages of a business process. Visibility processes are modular and can be combined to make the business process (or stage) transparent.

When you implement a visibility process, you have access to preconfigured system settings for an entire scenario.
