You just need to first add a label to the item that is going to enter the processor (for instance, "processTime"). Then, in the Properties Window of the processor, write "item.processTime", which will automatically read the value of the label.

In order to assign the label, you may use and "OnExitTrigger" of the source, or the "OnEntryTrigger" in the processor, as I did in the attached model. (I would recommend doing it in the source). You could use the Process Flow as well.
