I would think that the intended output would be:
Factory A produces 3 widgets;
Factory B produces 5 widgets and 1 gadget;
Factory C produces 3 gadgets;
Factory D produces 1 gadget and 1 excess product - whatever that is;
Factory E and beyond produce excess products.
So, you are really trying to keep track of 2 changing numbers,...the number of
current product still required, as well as the capacity of the factory. When
the number of the current product required gets to zero, you change products -
gotta figure out how to prioritize those. When the capacity of the current
factory gets to zero (has been fully allocated), you change factories - which
would be controlled by the order of the input xml, I assume.
So, is it better to do this incrementally - subtract one from required and one
from remaining capacity,...or to do bulk comparisons - I need to build 8, but
can only build 3, so give all three to Factory 1, and subtract 3 from
WidgetRequirement, then I still need to build 5, but Factory B can build 6, so
subtract all 5 from the WidgetRequirement and the CurrentCapacity and then
figure out what to do with the remaining CurrentCapacity for Factory B.

The presented source xml file is not too representative because the
total capacity of the first two factories is exactly the widget quota.
What should be the output in case the capacity for factory B was 6?

Previous thread has degenerated into confusion. Let's try again.
----- Source XML
<xml>
<factory x="A" capacity = "3" />
<factory x="B" capacity= "5" />
<factory x="C" capacity = "3" />
<factory x="D" capacity = "2" />
<factory x="E" capacity = "2" />
...etc...
</xml>
$Widget_quota = "8"
$Gadget_quota = "5"
----- Goal: an output table like below.
Factory | Widgets | Gadgets | Excess
A | 3
B | 5
<!-- *Click. Widget Quota has been reached. Switch to gadgets* -->
C | 3
D | 2
<!-- *Click. Omg. Gadget Quota has been reached. Switch to
Excess*

E | etc.
F | etc.
G | etc.
H | etc.
