Concept
An intermediate event is an event that occurs after a process has been started. It will affect the flow of the process, but will not start or (directly) terminate the process. An intermediate event will show where messages or delays are expected within the process, disrupt the normal flow through exception handling, or show the extra flow required for compensating a transaction.
