How to make the processflow to be the module and attach the object?

Hi. I would like to ask a question about how to make the processflow to be the module?

I have made the processflow about the ASRS pickup process but i hope it can be the module and i can use this processflow on other ASRS. The processflow demonstrated in the attached model.

Because i saw Flexsim already have some template just only have process flow and we can connect with that.

ASRSprocessflow.fsm

Software Version:

FlexSim 22.0.0

Software Version:

FlexSim 21.0.10

You need to start with a blank Object Process Flow if you want to add instances in the same way as the AGV template - it looks like you've used a subflow, which is instantiated when it's invoked. The subflow instance is determined by the first field of the pop-up which is described as Owner Object:

So here you can see I've changed that to the ASRS reference.

In this version I changed the subflow so that it's instanced by the ASRS. So you could open the process flow for that instance and see its tokens only.

@Jason Lightfoot Could i use the same subflow to control other ASRS, it means one subflow to contorl two or more ASRS.
