    Hi Bura,

    Thank you for providing the PDF and the details of the subprocess you would like to add.

    To create the subprocess flowchart on the second page, please upload the original Microsoft Visio file in .vsdx format. The attached PDF is an exported, non-editable version of the flowchart and does not contain the original Visio shapes, connectors, swimlanes, or page structure required to properly modify the diagram.

    Converting the PDF back into a Visio file would not reliably recreate the original editable elements or formatting. Therefore, I will not be able to add the requested subprocess directly to the attached PDF or convert it into an editable Visio diagram.

    Once you upload the original .vsdx file, the subprocess can be reviewed and added to the second page while preserving the existing flowchart’s layout and formatting. If you do not have the original Visio file, you may need to contact the person or department that created the diagram and request the editable .vsdx version.

    Thank you for your time and understanding.

    Create a linked second-page subprocess by selecting the Local Purchase shape on the main page and choosing Process → Subprocess → Create New, then build the detailed purchase flow on the page Visio creates.^1^

    Create and name the second page

    These commands apply to Visio Professional 2016–2024:

    1. On the overview page, select the shape representing Spare Part – Local Purchase Process.
    2. Select Process → Subprocess → Create New.
    3. Visio creates a new page and hyperlinks the selected shape to it.
    4. Rename the new page Spare Part – Local Purchase.
    5. To open it from the overview, hold Ctrl and click the subprocess shape, or right-click it and select the named hyperlink.^1^

    If the Process → Subprocess commands are unavailable, create a second page manually and use an Off-page Reference shape. Dropping that shape onto the first page can create the new page and matching hyperlink automatically.^2^

    Use Start/End for the endpoints, Process rectangles for activities, and a Decision diamond for Direct purchase? Visio defines a subprocess as a set of steps detailed elsewhere and a decision as a branch with outcomes such as Yes and No.^3^

    Start
      ↓
    Check availability in stock — 30 minutes
      ↓
    Initiate Purchase Requisition (PR) — 10 minutes
      ↓
    Supply Chain Head approves PR — 10 minutes
      ↓
    <Direct purchase?>
      ├─ Yes → Purchase goods → Prepare GRV — 1 day → End
      │
      └─ No  → Collect proforma invoices — 1 day
                 ↓
               Tender analysis and create PO — 1 hour
                 ↓
               Prepare payment request — 10 minutes
                 ↓
               Finance confirms PR and approves payment — 4 hours
                 ↓
               Audit reviews proforma comparison and verifies prices — 4 hours
                 ↓
               Purchase goods and prepare GRV — 1 day
                 ↓
                End
    

    Label the connectors leaving the decision diamond Yes and No. The first “Purchased then GRV” step is shown only on the direct-purchase branch; the longer procurement and approval path belongs to the No branch.

    The supplied steps do not state what should happen when stock is already available. Therefore, keep Check availability in stock as a process rectangle unless the intended branch is confirmed. If it should be a decision, change it to Available in stock? and add the missing Yes outcome, such as the organization’s stock-issue procedure.

    Optional swimlanes

    For clearer ownership, use a cross-functional flowchart with these lanes:

    • Requesting Department / Store: Check stock; initiate PR
    • Supply Chain Head: Approve PR; direct-purchase decision
    • Procurement / Supply Chain: Collect proformas; tender analysis; PO; purchase; GRV
    • Finance: Confirm PR; approve payment
    • Audit: Review comparison and verify pricing

    Keep the activity durations inside each process shape on a second line. This avoids adding separate timeline shapes and keeps each duration attached to its activity.

    Connect and format the shapes

    1. Select Home → Connector, or press Ctrl+3.
    2. Drag from one shape to the next.
    3. After connecting everything, press Ctrl+1 to return to the Pointer Tool.^4^
    4. Select all shapes, then choose Home → Position → Auto Align & Space.
    5. Check that arrowheads follow the flow and that Yes/No labels sit beside the correct decision connectors.^3^

    Only the .vsdx source file can be edited as a Visio drawing; the attached PDF can be used as a visual reference but cannot receive an editable second Visio page directly.
