Send Item on Conveyor : Process Flow vs Send Item : OnArrival object trigger

Model 1:

OnArrival trigger is used at decision point DP1 to route pallets to downstream conveyors and works exactly it is supposed to be.

Model 2:

I then decided to route pallets on the conveyors using process flow when they arrive at DP1, however all pallets go only to the last conveyor.

token.destination points to a decision point on one of the downstream conveyors. What did I get wrong?

I had to run the model for a longer time as the destination were assigned on random. It was an observation error on my part.

Model with process flow routing is working correctly
