How to stop an item on the conveyor until it can acquire a resource (Elevator)

travel-by-eleavator-process-flow-list.fsmI am building a model with two product types. Red Item goes to Sink2 and Green to Sink1. When multiples red boxes arrive, they won't be able to acquire a resource and hence creates back order. But the Redbox is NOT waiting/stopping for the elevator. The flow needs to stop until red box transfers using the elevator. Any help is appreciated .

If I'm understanding your problem correctly, you should be able to solve it by adding a 'Custom Code' activity and choosing the option to Stop/Resume item on a Conveyor, right before the Acquire activity, like so:

That way the flowitems stop if they can't acquire the elevator, but if the acquire is successful the Elevator goes ahead and loads them.
