How to controll tokens with another token?

[ FlexSim 21.1.2 ]

Hey all! I was wondering how to control a token with another token? In my example at 1 I want to use this token just as a reference for the amount i need. At 2 the source produces flowitems and then the flowitems are stored in rack1. When i need a Flowitem from rack 1, I want to move it just for example to the FloorStorage1. In this case, there appears a error due to false tokenlabel. How to fix this?

Hope someone can help me out!

Thank you!

Hi @Thomas K4, if I'm understanding your question correctly, you just want an item to be moved from Rack1 if a token enters step 1, is that correct? The best way I can think of for doing this would be a list. When a token enters 1, it pushes an entry to the list. Then in 2, a pull from list activity will move the flow item from Rack1 to FloorStorage1. Step 3 wouldn't be needed. I've attached a model as well. Let me know if I'm understanding this correctly.
