The element EPC Model can also be used as sub-EPC during modeling in an EPC. Then, the following rules apply:

Predecessor: none
Successor: Function

As a project element the EPC Model Procurement Process is situated on the work surface of the Project Editor, the first BPaaS editor level. Its sole purpose here is the administration of the corresponding EPC and it is visually not connected with any other elements, such as app projects, the organization model and CSS model. All elements belong to the project ACME Procurement.

Example EPC Element

In this example, the EPC Model Authorization Process is situated in the Process Editor. It is used in the EPC Procurement Processas a sub-EPC (see chapter Nesting EPCs). This is why the element Authorization Process is connected to the function Checking request.

Since in this case the element EPC Model is used as an EPC element, it has to be tied to a function via a connection in order to ensure an error-free execution of the model.
