How I can make all reprocessed products go directly to the client (sink) without being distributed to the production lines A and B?

In a production line there are three types of products (Item Type 1, 2, 3) of which a percentage of them are going to the production line A, the other to the line B and the rest to the client. A percentage of products of the line B are accumulated in a queue to return to the processor (Reprocessing). How I can make all reprocessed products go directly to the client (sink) without being distributed to the production lines A and B?

Here attached the base model

Software Version:

FlexSim 7.5.4

I was able to accomplish this by adding a trigger on the Queue. In the Queue, in the On Entry trigger, I had it set a label on the item coming in called "processed" and set the value to 1. Then in the first processor, in Send to Port flow I entered this custom code: (To access the custom code, click on the little script icon next to the dropdown arrow.)

if (getlabel(item,"reprocessed")==1)  {
	return 3;
}

This tells the logic of your Send to Port function that if an item has the "reprocessed" label, to send it to port 3, (the Client)

I've reattached your model below.
