How can I make sources produce the specified quantity of parts for a repeated schedule/Sequence?

Demand for the Parts:

ItemType1: 145

ItemType2: 89

ItemType3: 51

First, the source produces 51,31,19. At the second repeat sequence, the total quantity produced will be 102,62,38. At the third repeat sequence, the total quantity produced is 153, 93, 57, which exceeds the demand. We don't need the source to produce more than the required Quantity/Demand.

In order to meet the demand, the source for the 3 repeat sequence should produce only 43, 27, 13 quantities.

Please let me know if we can modify the behavior of the source or if there is an alternative.

Thanks.

The sequence will repeat whatever you tell it to. So if you tell it to repeat 51,31,19, then it will only repeat those numbers. If you want the third set to be different, then you should set the sequence to 9 entries instead of 3, and make the last 3 different. In an A, A, B kind of pattern. Would this work for you?

Hi @harish.varma if you are familiar with process flow, that is an alternative you can use. In the example, I used a table to create the different order numbers, then created tokens that pushed the items to a list. idea1.fsm
