Initial Stock

Hi everyone, i've been trying to create an initial stock amongst 4 racks that sets a total of 117 pallets with 20 box each along the 4 racks in a random order. I have been building it using PF, however, I am having trouble with my model as it seems to have trouble in the 'Find Slot'.

If anyone knows how to fix it I would very much appreciate it!

In the Find Slot activity, you are querying for slots whose "product" label matches the type of the pallet. But none of the slots have any value assigned to the "product" label, so not slot is found.

Also you might want to consider searching for empty slots instead of using the "hasSpace()" method. Since only the size of the pallet is taken into account, more than one might be placed in a slot otherwise.

Or use a pallet whose size reflects the contents as seen here - or remove the option to stack in the Z direction.
