-  - Each workflow step must have a unique **Name**. +
-    - The application will assign a default name, but we recommend that you change the name to something that helps you understand the purpose of the step as it is used in other steps. +
-    - The name cannot have spaces or special characters other than and underscore (_) +
-  - Enter an optional **Description** to provide any additional information that may be helpful to understanding the step. +

 The initial workflow is very simple. A SQLCommand query step retrieves a list of Business Partners from the SAP Business One database. The decision(s) are within a loop since we want to evaluate each record individually. The initial workflow is very simple.

 However, if you want a false evaluation to go to a specific step, an ELSE evaluation must be used. In this next example we want the flow to move to the “SQLCommand_getOtherName” step. Therefore, we have an explicit ELSE step to point the workflow in that direction. However, if you want a false evaluation to go to a specific step, an ELSE evaluation must be used.

In the following (simple) example we are reading a list of all the SAP Business One Business Partners. We then want to take an action if 1) it is a customer (CardType = ‘C’) and 2) their current A/R balance is greater or equal to 50,000.
