Yes, You can create a Subflow. Please find the steps below to achieve your requirement:
1) For example Input of Subflow will be Requested item record.
2) You do not need a output if the requirement is just to create Catalog Task.
Refer the steps mentioned below:
Click on New and then create a Subflow as show below:
Now next step is to define Name of the Subflow say Name it as "Create Task for RITM". Make sure to select to run it as System User as shown below:
Now next step is to create or define the input of your Sub Flow as shown below:
So it will look like below after defining the Requested Item input as below:
Click on Done once created:
Now you can build your flow ,because when you call this Subflow in your Flow it is accepting Requested Item record as a input so you will get the reference of entire RITM record and you can play around with what ever validation you want to build.
Say now I am just creating a Catalog task for this RITM in a Subflow:
1) Select action as "Create Catalog task" and make sure to select Requested Item record as teh input defined in First step as shown below:
Apart from this you can select your catalog item name and variable to be shown on the Catalog task form as shown below:
Save and Publish this Subflow first.
Now you can call this Sub Flow in your flow as below:
Click on SubFlow and select the flow created above as shown below:
Select RITM record as the input here to make your subflow work properly:
Result:
Hope this helps. Please mark the answer as correct/helpful based on impact.
