The present invention provides an image processing apparatus that executes process according to a job flow in which cooperation process in a plurality of apparatuses is defined, and that, when a function has been added that is equivalent to process that has been defined in the job flow, can utilize the equivalent added function in the job flow without a user manually re-editing the job flow. The present invention also provides a method for controlling such an image processing apparatus. To accomplish this, the present image processing apparatus, in a job flow in which a plurality of processes are executed cooperatively by a plurality of apparatuses, executes the job flow in an optimized manner using priority information that indicates the priority of apparatuses that execute each process, and mount function information that indicates the function mounted by each apparatus.
