Hi @Pandari Kadaji

Try using the Wait shape in the parent flow. you can configure it to wait until the child cases reach a specified status. set the right scope . follow this article for more details

> **[Wait Shape - its Configuration, Usage & Execution - OneStopPega](https://onestoppega.com/background-processing/wait-shape-its-configuration-usage-execution/)**

> Wait shape is used to instruct the system to wait for specified time period or for a specified business event to occur before allowing the case to advance.

@Pandari Kadaji

Wait Shape is the best option for this use case—use Case Dependency and Select “To Reach status”. The parent case will wait until all the child cases reach that particular status based on your requirements.
