Using process flow for task executers?

Im currently working on a line supply simulation, I wanted tosuplly-with-2-te.fsm take four items from a queue with a task executer. I select the option "Perform batching" of 4 items at the Queue and set maximum capacity of 4 items.

The problem is that I want to use 2 task executer doing the supply of 4 items per transport and I can't fin the correct way to do that. I read that process flow would be the best way to do this, but I don't really know how to do a process flow on flexsim.

If somebody can help me with that would be great!!, or maybe I could learn something if there is a great tutorial about process flow!

Thanks guys!

We do have some great tutorials for Process Flow right in the User Manual. (User Manual > Tutorials > Process Flow) There's even a section specifically on Task Sequences. I'd definitely recommend going through those tutorials, they will be of great help in learning Process Flow.

Here is a simple example I built that shows how you could load multiple items onto Task Executers using a list:

multipleitems.fsm

If you are using AGVs there is specifically an AGV Process Flow template, if you are using the template, this Answers post will help you set up the AGV Process Flow to pick up multiple items:
