Hello, my transporter (picker) stops moving after only 6 pallets moved to processor. May you please help troubleshoot where I may have missed a set up. Thank you.

Fixed Resources keep a variable that stores how many inputs/outputs are still pending. These, together with the maximum content, are used to determine whether another item can be received through a port connection or not.

If you use the "Use Transport" in the usual way this gets handled automatically. But since you implemented custom logic in Process Flow you need to notify the processor that it has received the pending item at the appropriate time, so the variable gets decremented and the queue can send another item there.

This is technically also needed for the output, though that variable is not limiting anything if it doesn't get decremented.
