Transporter stops moving during simulation

Hi all FlexSim experts,

I am working on a storage location assignment model. I have encountered a problem during my model simulation. Transporter 1 and transporter 3 should have travelled to all 401 storage locations since I have input 401 items all in different storage locations in quene by GlobalTable. However, transporter 3 stops at the row 362 in GlobalTable every time I simulated the model (As shown in the picture below). And there is no error message popped up during the simulation. I tried checking the rack, level and bay number I input in GlobalTable and the connections between dispatchers, quenes, nodes and transporters. I still cannot figure out where the problem is in my model.

Could anyone please kindly help me with this? I would attached my model in the attachment for reference. Please help, Thanks you!

Queue1 is connected to Rack11 and 12 as an input instead of an output.

@Felix Möhlmann Hi Felix Thanks for your reply. I have fixed the connection as you pointed out, but the transporter 3 still stops at Row 362 (as shown in the pic below). I tried changing the rack number in arrival table of Source1. The transporter 3 still stops at Row 362, which is strange. Do you have any ideas may causing this issue?

When I remove the input connection and replace it with an output connection, the table is filled up to row 401 in all columns.

It's hard to see in the screenshot, but maybe you forgot to add Queue1 as an output to the mentioned racks?

@Felix Möhlmann I downloaded the model you attached and it works, but not on mine. Thank you tho! I have another question about my model. Should I ask you here or create an new post?
