Event Triggered Source By Global Table

I would like to implement a trigger for my Min/Max (s, S) policy. Ordering should be triggered when the quantity of a specific Type in my "Bunker Bulk Inventory" drops below my "MinimumS" value of the corresponding Type.

I already have the ordering logic, but I, unfortunately, have no idea of how to create a token once the described event is triggered. I have tried using the assign data as a tracked variable in my global table and then using a wait-for event, however, the tracked variable automates to 0?

Any advice is appreciated :)

In the activity/trigger that updates the global table values, check if the new value is below the threshold. If so, you can send a message (command sendmessage() to an object in the model and thus create an event that a Event-Triggered Source can react to. A message can hold up to three parameters which could store information about which material needs to be ordered.

Or push the table row to a list of reorders, or call a function that invokes a process subflow.
