How to represent "or" in port by case

Hi, i am still beginnig in flexsim and i am trying to use the "Port By Case" for the to send from "Queue 1" the "item.Type == 1" to "Processor 1 or 2" AND send the "item.Type == 2" to "Processor 3, 4 or 5". I believe you can only do it through custom code. Unfortunately, I cannot use the "Specific Item Label" in Pull Requeriment. How to proceed? I need a Help

Thanks!!!

Software Version:

FlexSim 21.0.3

Port by Case is not able to a logical OR. You can do it easy with two additional queue objects or with a lot more coding.

You place between Queue1 and your processors the queues parallel. Port By Case send items of Type 1 to the first Queue (A) and Type 2 to Queue (B). Queue A is connected to Processors 1 and 2, Queue B is connected to Processors 3,4 and 5. The Queues A and B sends items by first available property. If you like, you set the maximum capacity to 1 for both queues.

@Gabriel C7 another easy solution is to use the pull functionality on the down streams objects
