Hey @yoni A,

Any chance you could send your model or a sample model showing the problem?

Thanks.

Hi @yoni A,

I was unable to open your model, but I can provide a sample model if you could explain two constraints:

1) How often does the processor pull the items? (ex. once a day, once per cycle, etc.)

2) How many item types do you plan on having?

Here's a model that should do what you're looking for:

yoni-help-pull-quantity.fsm

Essentially, the quantity and delay times are referencing the table so that they pull at the appropriate times.
