How to use first available in process flow?

Hello,

I have a simple model than I want to use first available using process flow. I have read the other answers in this topic and applied that logic without success.. In my model I have 2 processors called Granite1 and Granite 2 where I want to send jobs using the first available logic. .In my model the logic behaves as a round robin instead of first available. Thanks!

Use your destinations as resources. You assign them as a group to your resource activity. Activities of acquire and release pull them from this resource. Then you can move your items into chosen resource.

If it looks like round robin, then your resources gets utilized alternately.

I thought that what I was doing, My processors are destination as resources. But even though when one of them is free, still works as a round robin.

I didn't find my described approach. Please compare my model!first_available_resource_PF.fsm
