Can pull two different item with different Quantity using Global List?

[ FlexSim 21.1.4 ]

Hello! I'm new to flexsim. I have some doubts about the model. In the model, I want to pull the item from Queue 1 to queue 2 using the global list. Item must be pulled in different quantities based on label type. Like Type 1 label - 2 items, Type 2 label - 1 item pulled from the queue 1 and it should loop again and again. is it possible?

I have attached model for the reference.Pullpush_global list.fsm

The pull mechanism of FlexSim Fixed Resources(eg. a queue) can pull ONLY ONE item at each test cycle. You can define for a next pull test cycle that a special Type must be pulled and you can tag items to be only available for a special downstream object. And you can make sure that two items of a Type are available, but that is all. If you move items by a process flow logic from one queue to another one, then you can do this without any restrictions about currently involved amount of items.

The best way is to do it in Process Flow. Push the items on the list on entry trigger on Queue 1 and in PF build simple logic to pull them from the list and move to Queue 2. The quantity of how many items of which Type You want to pull You can easily change in Run Sub Flow block. I attached the model with the logic.
