Issue to set simulation to end on last item in the sink

I want the simulation to end when the last item enter the sink. Using the similar code from this post but I am not able to stop the simulation.

How to end simulation run after last flow item being processed? - FlexSim Community

Also, the 3rd shift operator never get used. Am I setting this up correctly?

Issue - Process to end, 3rd shfit operator.fsm

Software Version:

FlexSim 24.0.2

shift schedule endreplication endtime

In an entry trigger:

if (current.stats.input.value==8)
      endreplication(0);

Operator3 doesn't get a job since it is stopped the whole time. When you stop a dispatcher it will also stop its outobjects. Since you have timetables for the dispatcher and the operator that overlap there is no time when both timetables are 'on shift'. Remove the timetable you don't need, or alter them so that there is a period where no scheduled down time is active on either of them.
