How can I transfer item between cells in the same rack using Transporter?

Good day,

I'm building a model to simulate process in warehouse for picking and storing item to a new rack. The model I used

1. I am assigning label (item.Bay and item.Level) to assign item to appear in specific cells.

2. I am assigning destination of the item using label again item.RackDestination

3. All of my rack object will use PULL system, which the criteria is the item.RackDestination

The problem appear when there is a process which the item only moved cells and not object (same rack but different cells), because :

1. The pull is not working because it is the same object,

2.How can I simulate the specific transporter is the one who moved the object too?

PS : Due to simulating the "warehouse system" i use many coding, and not the pre-function flexsim

My flexsim version is 19.2.4

Thank you!

Software Version:

FlexSim 19.2.4

rack flexsim 19.2.4 transport moveobject

Once the item has entered the rack object, you can assign a different slot. Then the item has got a currentSlot but a different assignedSlot. You can load the item and unload to the new assignedSlot. That is the storage system designed for. You don’t pull the item out of the rack, you just transport the item from one slot to another.

@Ranggi M, if you had attached an own model example, I could have worked with it.

I need some time to make a mini example of my model. But in the mean time, I kind of try to understand your example, what if there are several item and several operator. It is using For Example :
There are item A,B in Cell 1-1-1 and C,D in Cell 2-1-1 and Operator 1 and 2 attached to a Dispatcher.

I want operator 1 to pick A and B at the same time , and bring A to Cell x and bring B to cell Y,

And I want Operator 2 to pick C and D at the same time, then bring C and D to cell Z

If I only used the addtask and dispatch at the message trigger every time will it follows those scenario?
