  Key Concepts: 
  Preceding is a term used in the SAP Application Platform (AP) to refer to the order in which tasks are executed. It is used to determine the order of execution for tasks that are dependent on each other. For example, if Task A needs to be completed before Task B can be started, then Task A is said to be preceding Task B. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In the SAP Application Platform, preceding is used to define the order of execution for tasks that are dependent on each other. This ensures that tasks are completed in the correct order and that any errors or issues are addressed before proceeding with the next task. To set up a preceding relationship between two tasks, you must first define the task that needs to be completed first (the preceding task) and then define the task that needs to be completed after (the succeeding task). 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up a preceding relationship between two tasks, it is important to ensure that all necessary information is provided for both tasks. This includes any parameters or data that may be required for either task. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all dependencies between tasks are properly defined so that they can be executed in the correct order.
