Why consult of Global Table stop working during when I use transport?

0. I create a Global table with only 2 columns SKU and QUANTITY

1. I have 1 queu (let's call it QUEU GENERATOR) wich receives several boxes that have some tags (important one is SKU)

2. I have 1 queu (let's call it QUEU RECEIVER) that receives an specific SKU i've set on the global table with the condition that the QUANTITY is over 0.

3. The QUEU RECEIVER has an on entry event that each time it receives an SKU it updates de global table and reduces the QUANTITY by 0.

The Issue:

1.- the last process works when i don't use a operator as transport, in the QUEU RECEIVER i only get the quantity i set on the global table, if a set 5 i get 5.

2.- the process doesn't work when i use the operator, the QUEU RECEIVER keep receiving even when i've set 5 on the gobal table. And the table keep updating and set negative numbers.

Software Version:

FlexSim 21.1.5

Hi Edson, I didn't understand 100% you question, but here is a model to limit the product using labels:

EdsonAstoraga question.fsm

In this case, my receiving queues have a label call "Content" which is going to decrease every time a box is sent to the queue, once the content arrives to 0, I close the input port of the queue with the trigger to stop receiving items,

Label Content in receiving queues

Triggers to decrease Content label of the receiving queues and to close the input (this triggers are within the generating queue)

Best regards

Thank you all, your answers were all good however i've decided to stop working with a pull requirement due to lack of efficiency of this. The solution was the creation of costum codes on the output.

Regards!
