box flow through multiple conveyor

Im a new bee for simulation. Im trying to simulate a WH process and struggled at very first stage. In this scenario im trying to produce 2 items types ( Box 1 and Box 2 ) with different colors and in conveyor junction i need 1 box type to go staright and other box type to go on other conveyor. I think i need add dicision point but i dont have clear idea on how to do that

@Amila Kaushalya

Attached is your model with the changes that I made.

I added an OnExit trigger to the Source1 object so that it would create two different types (1 & 2) of boxes and color them different (1=red, 2=green).

Then I slightly re-arranged the conveyors and deleted any automatic port connections that connecting them created. Then I manually connect (A-Left Mouse) them. First, Conveyor2 then Conveyor3. I connected an output port from the DP first to ExitTransfer2 (Conveyor2) then to ExitTransfer1 (Conveyor3). Then I added code in the DP in the OnArrival trigger to send the flowitem to the output port based on the "Type" label created in the Source.

I think this was what you were looking to do? If you have any questions or problems, please let us know.

Thanks.
