SCP Workflow question

[Kjetil Kilhavn]

What is an object? If the workflow is "Create Vendor Account" and takes 
a bunch of input parameters for the new vendor, then why not let it 
start before there is an LFA1 record in the database? You have an 
object, it just isn't complete yet, it is a draft for a vendor record. 
Sort of like FIPP objects.

But the way you describe it it may also be a workflow that doesn't have 
a clue what is about to happen, so any type of object can be created 
etc. I suppose it could still be a valid use case, but it's a bit harder 
to imagine. How would one for instance identify agents for the first 
step if you don't even know what is going to be created.
