Hi Rakhi,

Processes / Timers are used for providing asynchronous capabilities in your application.

Go for BPT Processes if you have a work flow to be defined that involves say a request going through various stages of approval. You can consider raising a Service Desk request as a use case wherein the request goes through various stages once you raise it till there is a logical closure. Outsystems's Case Management Framework and Workflow Builder are implemented on top of BPT framework.

Light Processes : If you want to perform some quick processing behind the scene for an database event without much tracking and need high throughput. You can consider Light BPT. There are certain pre-requisites to use Light BPT which you can find in the OutSystems Documentation

Timers : Basically for bootstrapping of data, or any heavy duty processing like archiving data every month etc. There are best practices shared by OutSystems when developing Heavy Duty Timers, do check them if needed.

Below are some short training videos to give you an overview on OutSystems asynchronous capabilities, and process overview which should give you an idea

For understanding BPT you can go through the training video link provided by Sachin, and also check OutSystems Documentation.

Hope this helps.
