business process
An action taken in the course of conducting business. Whether manual or automated, all processes require input and generate output. Depending on the level of viewing and modeling, a process can be a single task or a complicated procedure such as building a product.

In a business information system, a business process is the application of a business transaction against a database (transaction vs. master). See business process modeling, business processing and information system.
