question

@Marc B,

Here is another solution that doesn't use Process Flow just so you have a couple of examples.

I added 4 more output ports from the Part Queue to Combiner1. One output port for each itemtype. Then in the Part Queue, Send To Port field, I set that to be By Expression (send to the output port that matches the itemtype of the part).

Then I changed the input ports for Combiner1 to that the Mold Queue would be the first input port (container port). Then in the OnEntry trigger, I chose to update the combiner component list based on a global table (PartsTable). So if Mold flowitem has an itemtype of 1, it will look in the first column of the global table for the parts it should pull from each of the Combiner's input ports (2 and higher, 1 is for the container object - Mold). In the global table, there is a number in each row of the number of flowitems that should be pulled from that input port. In you case, only 1 flowitem is pulled based on the itemtype or input port number (2 and higher).

Then in Separator1, I swapped the output ports so that it was sending the proper Mold back to the Mold Queue.

If you have any questions or problems, please let us know.

Thanks.
