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.
