Pull Value from list - resource amount not enough

EX Warehouse.fsmCurrently I have a project where I am placing an amount of resources in a list; and then when a batch runs into a pull section; it has a required amount of material pulled. If there is not enough material; the token gets stuck and takes up a resource titled filling lines. I am a little stuck on a way to get the token to proceed when the material list in updated with the new inventory.

Hi @Anup Chauhan! You can add a max wait timer on the pull from list where if the max wait timer fires it just runs through the block again. For example I just added this:

And then for the release token trigger I added a second connector that looks like this:

And when that release token trigger fires, it sends the token to the second connector:

That way it doesn't get stuck but just runs through the bock again, does that help solve your problem? Let me know if you have any follow up questions!
