This manager can also show importance and urgency as well as due date of the task by setting task priorities, so staff members will be aware of the deadlines. A sequence of such tasks establishes an order processing workflow, and technology allows controlling such a workflow.

Business administration systems allow engaging accounts department in order payment processing, so respective tasks can be created and assigned to accounting staff members.
