Priorities on Pull from List

Hi, in process flow I have several "pull from list" activities using different queries.

How can I do so that it always prioritizes one of them over the rest?

In the example below, I want that it always pulls the one in yellow before any other.

Thank you in advance,

Lambert,

if you are looking to prioritize the pull requests, you will actually have to implement a "Back Order Queue Strategy" on the "Back Orders" tab of the list:

That should do it.

Hello, I'm trying to do the same, but it's not working for me. Can you help me please ?



in my model i have 5 queues in a list. and I have two processes pulling from the list. the first is order delivery ("Preparation de commande") and the second is supply ("Approvisionnement"). I want the provisioning process to always have priority over the queue list. To do this, I put labels named Priority (4 for the delivery process and 3 for the supply process) and i use back order like you but it doesn't work. do you know why?

Can you post your model and point us to the pull event where you have two backorders and the incorrect puller gets satisfied? (maybe in a new post?)
