How to Pull from list when type change

Hi

I am modeling the following situation using processflow with List and would like to get advise.

A tote is used to pick up the same type of item of 10. When item type change, i would like to release the tote with whatever quantity that it has.

How do I use List to do it?

Thanks

David

Can you give some more details or post an example model? What do you mean by "when item type change"?

@Matthew Gillespie

I have enclosed the model.

There are two product token types. The tote token can pull any type of token but only one type at all time. The tote token should be released when a different type of token arrives.

Thanks

David

Here's one way you could do it using an Event Triggered Source and a Release Token activity.
