Default Forced Staytime

I try to define a minimum staytime for a queue like this:

At the exit of the source a label is set with the exittime plus 2 days (plan-starttime). The queue after the source should let each flowitem out if the plan-starttime has arrived (same like if the 2 day since exit of source are passed, because no transport between source and queue).

Now I don't know when the queue should check if the plan-starttime has arrived. Should it check this on every new entry? But what if the new entry comes after the 2 days of forced staying?

Hope for ideas!

Thanks

Congshi

Why you don´t use a rack? There the minimum staytime is a standard option. Or did I understood your problem wrong?

Thanks. Didn't think of a rack because it should just be a simple buffer.
