The flow of you model is rather confusing, do you have a diagram of what you are trying to accomplish, or a better outline? Also the logic for your operator is telling it to go away from the Combiner then to it, but you haven't told the combiner to use the transporter or to tell the combiner to hold onto it's items for the process flow to handle the transportation.

Here's your model with all the changes added. Along with all the changes to the process flow, I added a OnModelReset Trigger to the model to reset your combiners logic of what to pull. I also added another source and Queue since you were missing 1. The Queues after the Combiner have labels on them both for pulling and for Saying Which Queue is the Main queue to be filled. I also added 2 Lists and some extra labels and Expressions to them that allow better querying.

1. In the below attached model combiner was not taking the input quantities from Globaltable1_variants for the creation of variant 2,by default it was taking the input ports and quantities from variant 1.

2. 17992-17987-consecutivenumberingandtablelog-1902-r.fsmThe Queues after the Combiner filled to maxcontent transporter has to carry that max content at a time.But in the attached model it carries only one part at a time .could you please help on this...

I made some changes to fit your description above, I made a mistake in the model I sent you so it wouldn't have worked how you wanted it to, this model should, but let me know if you see any problems or issues that occur with it.
