Default Initial Inventory

Hi All

I was hoping that someone could help me out on this...Is there any way to give a Queue an initial inventory of a certain flowitem?

Thanks

Pete

A simple way is to connect a Source to the queue, change the Arrival Style on the Source page to "Arrival Schedule", select the appropriate flowitem, and in the table set the quantity arriving at time zero to the initial inventory.
