Can i release a resource to another Resource from where it was aquired from?

I have two Resources. Both generate the same type of resources. But when i realase a resource i want not to release from the Resource it was aquired from. I want to realase the resource to the other Resource "source".


E.g: i aquire the resource from Resource1. Can i realse the resource "sending" it to Resource2?

My question is if there is a way to accomplish that with Process Flow.


Thank you in advance:)

Unfortunately, no, you can't release to another resource.

I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to do, but you could potentially do this with Lists. You can pull something off of one list and then later push it on to a different list.

Here is a simple example where the people pull a bike from one list and then push the list to another list.

This works, however, it would be a huge pain to try and scale this model up. For example, what if we wanted 8 bike stops instead of just 2? Rather than using a separate list for each stop we can use just one list and partition by the bike stop. Here's a better version of the previous model where I use just one partitioned list.
