Multiple token created

Hi everyone,

I am experimenting a problem in my model because it creates multiple tokens in the Outbound process. I would like that the source present in the outbound create one token at time and looping this token according to the process flow. The problem is that while one token is completing the process another token is created at the source blocking the acquire resource activity of the second token. How can i avoid that creating only one token ?

@Andrea F It is a little unclear what you are asking here. Looking at your model I can see that one token moves down from the Palletizing part of your ProcessFlow to the Outbound part. The Outbound part also has a token being created at Source: Start Order. So there are two tokens like you said.

Do you want both of these tokens to go through the Outbound part of the flow? Do you want one to go through and then the other?

Hi @Jacob Gillespie i would like that just one token would undergo the Outbound process in order that it loops through columns and rows of the Orders´table. I would not like to have another token in the Outbound because that would restart the counting process of columns and rows from 1 by not keeping the updating track process by incrementing the columns and rows labels. Hope i was clear. Anyway i did as Jeanette said, i put a zone in order to limit the number of tokens inside the process. Thank you for the response!

Hello @Andrea F,

If you would like only one token to go through the outbound at a time then use a zone with a token limit of 1. I implemented this into your model. However, I have not been able to fix the token getting stuck on the load activity. Since that is a problem asked in the following post, I will let the problem be solved there.
