A workflow contains both business processes, "Checking" and "Controlling". An appropriate SBP template already exists. The processes "Checking" and "Controlling" are assigned to the appropriate Workflow definition and template.
Whenever the business process "Controlling" is executed, "Checking" is also carried out.
