Hi @Ahadr A,

Here is a possible solution for your problem. You may also find it useful to implement Process Flow to avoid so much hard coding, but for now, you may review this example model and see if it fits your needs. It may be difficult to expand this idea to many item types and many queues, but it's a start.

I used the DP1 "On Arrival" trigger that you had set up to determine where to send Type 1 flowitems. There is also a label on DP1 that acts as a counter for how many red boxes (Type 1 flowitems) have been sent. Every time a red box is sent to Queue2, the counter is incremented by 1.

The structure of the code came from the default code on the Send Item By Case function, as shown:

I just added some logic to increment the label "NumRed" and to NOT send an item once the counter "NumRed" had reached a value of 3. This is shown in the highlighted text block here:

In the case that you empty Queue2 and want to send 3 more Type 1 flowitems to that location, you can simply trigger a label change on DP1 that will reset the "NumRed" counter label to 0.

Let me know if you have questions. For additional reference, I've attached an updated version of your model:
