Does storage.system.queryItems() include outbound items?

According to flexsim docs (1), queryItems() only searches for items in the stored state. However, there are some instances in my model where two orders contain the same flowitem, which of course is problematic.

This is the code I use to set slotItems as outbound:

Storage.Slot.Item slotItem = token.SlotItem;
slotItem.storageItem.assignedSlot = 0;

token.SlotItem contains one item from a queryItems() array.

If queryItems() is supposed to only search for items in the stored state, and the outbound code is working correctly, I will provide further information about the model to locate the problem.

So with some more testing I have found out that setting items to outbound is not the problem. It probably is the code I have created to query items that doesnt work properly. I also tried with pointer NULL instead of numerical 0, which gives the same excact results.

Token token = Token.byID(12752);
Storage.Item item = Storage.Item(token.Item);
return item.state;

This code in the script console checks the Storage.Item.State of a random item which has gone through the set outbound code, and returns a value of 4, which should be outbound according to this flexsim docs article:

Can you post your model? Make this or another post private if it's a project that contains commercial information you can't release.

If it's a student assignment then post here publicly.

You are corrent in that queryitems() will only search for items in the stored stated. Please look here in the user manual for Storage.ITem.assignedSlot https://docs.flexsim.com/en/21.1/Reference/CodingInFlexSim/FlexScriptAPIReference/Warehousing/Storage.Item.html
