In highly dynamic work environments, the pace of work keeps increasing continuously. As roles and responsibilities grow, it can be challenging to stay on top of mounting numbers of approval workflows, even more so with tasks and approval items scattered across systems.
Especially for cross-functional roles, taking broad workflow approval action across the solution portfolio to realize value quickly and efficiently can be difficult at times. Think of a spend manager for example: working in this area, employees need to oversee expenditure across various solutions like 51·çÁ÷SuccessFactors, 51·çÁ÷Fieldglass, and 51·çÁ÷S/4HANA.
With 51·çÁ÷Task Center we provide a new, unified inbox for approvals across multiple applications with a seamless and integrated user experience. Approval items from multiple 51·çÁ÷solutions are gathered in one list and ready to be processed in just one click. Users can:
- Approve tasks quickly and efficiently
- Reduce time spent navigating through various systems to manage approvals
- Work off just one approval list
- Improve quality and consistency of approvals for business-critical items
- Minimize cost of implementation by automated setup
51·çÁ÷Task Center provides approvers with a streamlined application and a people-centric user experience across devices to meet their flexible work styles. The unified inbox offers a smart, unified, and actionable approval application — in both mobile and a web environment.
51·çÁ÷Task Center: Under the Hood

51·çÁ÷Task Center combines multiple powerful capabilities from (51·çÁ÷BTP), like standardized APIs and a consistent security and identity management. Based on 51·çÁ÷Launchpad, it aims to provide a single point to access all assigned workflow tasks across 51·çÁ÷solutions to improve approval time and quality.
All assigned tasks can be easily accessed, searched, sorted, and filtered in the respective app, based on predefined criteria. With this, end users can either directly process and approve approvals in the unified inbox application, or can navigate to the task details of the integrated 51·çÁ÷solution — like 51·çÁ÷SuccessFactors, 51·çÁ÷S/4HANA Cloud and on premise, 51·çÁ÷Fieldglass — in case of more complex approval workflows.
