The Subprocess task creates a new sub workflow to help break the workflow into visually manageable or logical pieces. It creates a new workflow that returns back to the calling workflow process when the subprocess is completed.
In this example, Subprocess tasks are used to make the workflow easier to understand and make sense.
Subprocesses can also be used in conjunction with Advanced Rules to control the flow of the workflow process. If the Advance Rules are set correctly, the Consolidate–Corp subprocess won't execute until the Consolidate–USA, Consolidate–Europe, and Consolidate–Canada subprocesses are completed.
