would you please answer these two question:
1- How you describe the workflow in ERPNext? what attributes does it give to the business process?
2- If you write a questionnaire about workflow,or workflow engine what question you consider that really measure the ERPNext workflow? please write them down.
thank you . what about question 2 
I don’t know about anyone else, but Question 2 makes no sense to me. Could you try rewording it?
ok
as a developer what do you expect from ERPNext workflow to provide you with? to what extent you can customize your business case ? what make workflow unique? what you think it should consider ? when you can say this is the best workflow engine ? what make it as a perfect tool ? … and so on. only I need to know what ERPNext workflow have to consider it to the best choice.
Well, I’m currently using the workflow combined with the open customization ability to create an entire Engineering Change Notice workflow, with multi-level approval and links to various other documents. I can’t see me being able to do this with any of the other ERP systems that I was evaluating. And while there is no such thing as a perfect tool, The workflow customization options in ERPnext are invaluable to me.
As far as the stock workflow for things like sales orders, manufacture orders, etc. I think it’s a very simple and intuitive system.
this it . how you evaluate other ERP systems?
i am a student. i need to evaluate the workflow by distributing a survey , so i am trying to find suitable questions.
please anyone
Please read this, I hope, it will definitely help you.
What is a Workflow?
Workflow is the definition, execution and automation of business processes where tasks, information or documents are passed from one participant to another for action, according to a set of procedural rules.
Organizations use workflows to coordinate tasks between people and synchronize data between systems, with the ultimate goal of improving organizational efficiency, responsiveness and profitability.

The following 3 minute video explains the concept a workflow using visual examples:

Workflows automate the flow of employee tasks and activities, reducing the time the process took to complete as well as potential errors caused by human interaction.Workflows makes processes more efficient, compliant, agile, and visible by ensuring that every process step is explicitly defined, monitored over time, and optimized for maximum productivity. Given optimal, up-to-the-minute process data, managers and employees can take quicker action and make smarter decisions.Workflows empower business users and IT to work together to rapidly modify systems and processes to reflect changes in the business.
Workflow Types
There are three different types of Workflows:
Sequential Workflow (Typically Flow Chart based, progresses from one stage to next and does not step back)
State Machine Workflow (Progress from ‘State’ to ‘State’, these workflows are more complex and return to a previous point if required)
Rules-driven Workflow (Implemented based on a sequential workflow. The rules dictate the progress of the workflow)
Workflow Software – Best Practices
To be successful, organizations are required to adapt and customize their IT environment to meet various customer demands. These demands often arise from the need to improve collaboration, communication and coordination. Addressing these issues usually always involves process analysis and change. IT departments are thus challenged to provide solutions that enable the business users to retain control of their business logic. Meeting the combination of these challenges cost-effectively ultimately requires BPM functionality.
Workflow software provides organizations with strategic technology capable of creating and executing cross-enterprise business processes. Workflows can be deployed, monitored and continuously optimize cross-enterprise functionality within a mixed environment of people, content and systems.
During the years, workflow technology has evolved from just workflow automation, which has been focused on automating human centric processes, through Enterprise Application Integration, which is focused on the exchange of information between heterogeneous systems, through Business Process Modelling and Analysis, which is focused on gaining a detailed understanding of business processes and the potential impact of changes to those processes, through Business Activity Monitoring, which is focused on analyzing the efficiency and effectiveness of business processes and activities, to BPM that supports the complete process improvement cycle, from definition to implementation, monitoring and analysis, and through ongoing optimization.
Workflow Examples
The following examples demonstrate workflows in various industries:
• HR: Workflows which govern HR-related procedures such as Starter, Leaver, Annual Review.
• Banking: A workflow for a new client account, an approval cycle for an investment decision, an approval cycle for a mortgage or loan request.
• Manufacturing: Quality Assurance workflows such as non-conformities, complains, preventive maintenance.
• Customer Service: A workflow which assigns tasks to agents who handle customer requests.
• Defence/Emergency: A workflow which manages a situation in a situation room.
• Travel: A workflow which manages a client vacation, hotel reservation, flight reservation, etc. for a travel agency.
