Note
The documentation for processing tasks contains a note explaining how to create a task for a notification item. This is not possible in claim management because a claim does not recognize items. In claim management a task refers to the entire claim.
The system can automatically execute activities connected to a task as follow-up actions and trigger a workflow (for example, printing or calling up a particular SAP transaction). You can define the follow-up activities according to your own needs.
For more information, see the Implementation Guide Follow-Up Actions for Tasks .
