batch process

I am trying to build a model that can perform batching process based on incoming order. And set the maximum capacity for the combiner.

I have two types of flow items now. 1. material 2. order info.

I've set the operator to take X number of material depends on the incoming order. Combining them (X number of materials and one order ) together, and making them into a batch/a finished order.

But I want to go further and I am having trouble to set it up.

I want to set the maximum capacity of the combiner to be 250. Meaning that each batch on the combiner can only hold up to 250 of materials. So if I have an order requiring 400 materials, I want to set up the logic that the combiner will break down this order into 2 batches during the process. the combiner should break this order into

2 batches (because the combiner can only combine 250 materials at a time). The first batch would be 250, the second batch would be 150 (400-250= 150

).

I need some help here, any advise?

I would prefer to implement the "Order" part into Process Flow. Because it is data handling and this seems to be much easier in PF. Than you can visualise in 3D what you really want to see!

So the source with your orders would be a source in Process Flow. Even the Batch process can be handled there. If you want to split an order, send them to another path, or create a second token and give it the right values.

Please let me know, if this helped you!

I changed my question. I do not understand process flow at all. Can you help me with the problem I am having right now? I really need your help ~ please~
