!!!Define User Procedure
Procedures are special functions that invoke other functions. They are defined on the Define User Procedures [IMPC] form.

!!!Define User Procedures
A [procedure|USER PROCEDURES] is a type of user definable function that links together two or more system functions into a business procedure or workflow.
Typically, complex processes like enrolling employees into benefit plans, multiple record changes like getting married, or post-hire processes are good candidates for definition as a procedure.
The procedure form is divided into two parts: a "header" component that defines general aspects of the procedure and the "procedure steps" component that defines the individual functions that make up the procedure.
The step information has some overflow information below.
The definition data for the Define User Procedure screen is stored in the [P2K_AM_FUNCTIONS], [P2K_AM_EXECUTION_RIGHTS] and [P2K_AM_PROCEDURE_STEPS] tables.
For more information on procedures see the pages titled [How to Define Procedures|USER PROCEDURES] and [Examples of Procedures|PROCEDURE EXAMPLES].
\\ \\
Each procedure consists of a procedure header and procedure steps. The step information has some overflow information below.\\
