Hi,
When using process flow to move a flowitem directly off a conveyor station, the station does not update current content to reflect that the flowitem was moved off. How can I make sure it's updated?

Hi @Leo L6,
It's hard to know how to help without looking at your model. To receive a more accurate solution, please post your model or a sample model that demonstrates your question.

Here it is. Please look at the current content stat on decision point 1
Hi @Leo L6 ,
To make sure the current content of your decision point 1 is accurate, you just need to add a "Wait for Event" activity before moving the object.
Because your Source in the process flow creates a token "on arrival" at the decision point, the "Move Object" activity in process flow moves the object before the decision point performs its logic. The Wait For Event activity allows us to wait until the item is ready to continue from decision point 1 and then we move the item to the queue.
I've attached your updated model and another model showing how this is done with a conveyor station instead of a decision point as well.
