Move Object General Help

move-object-flexsim-example-please-help.fsmHello,

I need some help. I made this very simple example (attached). I would like my Process Flow logic to transfer all 60 items from Queue1 to Queue2 via "Move Object". I have been messing with this, in my more complex model, for over an hour now. I've never used "Move Object" before. Please help! Only 1 item transfers at a time.

Regards,

Eric

You were only moving the last item that entered the queue. because the OnEndCollecting event only passes in the last item as the Entering Item. You need to have each of the tokens you created move a different item. I did this in this model by making each token move the first item in Queue1:

Hi @Matthew Gillespie , for the same logic, I want to move specific amount of items with Part_Number to next Queue. The quantity for the items to be moved will be given in global table. I do not want to move all the items instead specific quanitity of that part number(many part numbers exist) needs to be sent to the queue.

Pull the parts you want from a list into an array and then you can just use one 'Move Object' activity to move them all using the array as the set of items.
