TaskExecuter transport flow items to 2 locations

Hi, how would I go about connecting or configuring my TaskExecuter so that it would go to 2 locations depending on which location if more available for processing of the flow item. Currently my TaskExecuter is only moving towards my 3 processors and not to my multi-processor - "Active Assist". I have included a picture and my model for easy reference. Thank you!

@Glenys C,

Attached is your model with the changes that I've made to it.

Bassically, only two changes. I added code in the OnEntry triggers of both of the conveyors that feed the processors. That is, to close the input port of the EntryTransfer points. Then I added code in the last of the three processor as well as the multiprocessor in the OnExit code to re-open the input ports of the EntryTransfer. This way if there are any flowitems in those areas, it will send it to the other area.

Take a look at the model and see if something like this would work for your situation. If you have any questions, or problems, please let us know.

Thanks.
