Pull Quantities by Case

I'm trying to pull from a list, and determine the quantity to pull based on a "CartType" label value.

Entries on the list:

My Pull from List activity is setup as follows:

I'd like to set this up with such logic that if the first item in the queue is CartType "L_RACK", I can only pull qty 1. If the first item in the queue is CartType "IGU_CART", then I can pull up to 4 tokens with the same label value regardless of their position in the queue.

This setup is giving me an error saying the CartType label does not exist on the token at the pull activity.

Software Version:

FlexSim 24.0.2

Hey @Jacob W2,

Thanks for commenting - I actually spoke to technical support offline about this issue. We resolved it by using the process flow logic in the images and description below:

Essentially we pulled 1 token from the list, ran it through a "Decide" activity to inspect the "CartType" label, then split the activity from there. If CartType == "IGU_CART" was true, I could pull up to 3 more items (inserted in front of array). If CartType condition was not true, I would take that originally pulled token and move to the next step.
