'Task' is the parent table of all task-type records in the system.  It is the parent of REQ, RITM, and SCTASK.

When you order a catalog item, the system generates a single RITM record for each item in the cart at the time you order.  These RITM records are all grouped underneath a parent REQ record.

Depending on your workflow, you might also have SCTASK records that get generated as children of a RITM record.

At the Top level you will have REQ.  Within the REQ you have can multiple RITMs.  With each RITM you can have various numbers of SCTasks.  I think Mark covered the Table properties well.

If you think of ordering a computer from Dell with a docking station and a monitor.  The Order Number is your REQ.  Then the individual items will have their RITMs.  The RITMs then have associated tasks within them.  Here's an example...  Hope this helps.

HI @Mehernosh Amroli Thanks for the explanation. Quick question - is there a we can prevent email notifications going to persons who have a closed SCTASK on a RITM? Thanks!

I would check with your Admin Team.  My knowledge is that notifications should not go out unless designed for a specific reason.  There may be Business Rules that you can look into as well.
