I want to move a group of pallets to different entry ports (Queues)

Hi, Im trying to build the entry of different trucks to a warehouse. To do this I created in the process flow the the arrival time, the quantity of pallets and the quantity of boxes on each pallet.

I want that all the pack of pallets I created to move to a entry port that is available. The problem is that the pallets created always move to the first port. And when i try to make a logic with the send to port option they act as separate pallets.

Link to the model:

Hello @Johel PA,

You can create a trigger on the entry queues that On Entry Closes the input port. This will prevent other pallets from entering the queue.

You will probably want an On Exit trigger that opens the input port once the pallet leaves.
