Hi @Sshasnk ,

 

Simply use the Append tool. This will allow you to append the one to many (or many to many, be careful!).

Check your settings at the Append Tool. You can change them in the configuration window at the bottom. Warn/Error on too many records being generated: Allow all appends. This will solve your problem.
You can also choose to warn if there are more then 16 records. This is because appending a lot of field will take a lot off time.
