You can use the inclusive gateway to create the alternative flows in the process that can be executed concurrently. When diverging, an inclusive gateway activates the conditional flows whose conditions are met. Both one or several outgoing flows can be activated.
For example, if the account annual revenue is 100000 or more, it is considered a big customer, and if its annual revenue is more than 200000, then this customer is considered VIP (Fig. 133).
Fig. 133 Diverging inclusive gateway
Thus, a customer with an annual revenue of 150000 will be added to big customers. If the customer annual revenue is more than 200000, it will be added to big customers and at the same time it will get a VIP status. In case the annual revenue is less than 100,000, the default flow is used.
The diverging inclusive gateway requires an outgoing default flow. The default flow is activated when it is impossible to activate at least one of the conditional flows.
Attention!
In BPMS the converging inclusive gateway works in the same manner as the exclusive gateway.
