Minimum stock required

Hey! For this simulation I have to implement a minimum Stock for some articles (maybe) with a second source. So maybe when i think about the first Article (artikelnummer) in the Global Table, I want to maybe say, every 1000 seconds in the rack, there have at least to be 20 articles. So I thought about just to find items with this articlenumber but ordernumber zero with the source (how?) and so on.. But how can I find with my second source articles in the rack with specified articlenumber and ordernumber? Also how can i write to the separator who is looking to the flowitem quantity I want to subtract the quantity by Flowitems (with this articlenumber and ordernumber zero) in the rack?

Please Help! P.S I am not very familiar with process flow.. Do you think this would be the better option? I have to do a ton more afterwards..

Kind regards, Thomas

I am a bit puzzled, where is the main difference in relation to your previous question:

" How can i add an inventory policy (r, S) to this simulation"

My attached model logic looks for items, which are below a stock level, create them to this level and place them in the rack again. The main task is to query all items of the storage system, count them by an attribute, identify a replenishment and create the missing amount. The only differences are, I don't do this all without your model or your data.I will help you, as I said there. Please ask specific questions.

A source is not a suitable object to create a distinct amount of items by a condition. A separator is able to perform such task. You can create in a source every 1000 seconds an item, identify the amount of products and split your single item in a separator to fill up your warehouse with the needed amount. But this is exactly what my example model does. It does it only with process flow and some source code.
