Item Label now showing under label window

Hi, I am facing some issues with labels.

I have assigned labels to items via process flow tokens, and I believe the label is assigned correctly because the label can be seen when i click on the token to view the details, but it is not showing when i click on the same box on the 3D model.

Below is my approach in assigning the label: (when a box enters the queue, a label should be assigned to the box.)

Does anyone know what is the reason?

Software Version:

FlexSim 23.0.3

It's difficult to tell without access to the model.

Are you sure that the item you check in the 3d model is the same that is referenced in the token label? It looks like you are creating some other object further down in the Process Flow. Could that be the one you clicked on?

If my assumption is correct that the item is moved into the queue by the second Move Object activity, then the Wait for Event activity will not trigger for that item, since it is already in the Queue when the token arrives there, resulting in the last token never getting to assign the labels (as can be seen in your screenshots).

Why are you even using the Wait for Event? If the token already has a reference to the item and moves it into the Queue, why not assign the labels without any delay afterwards?

Yes, the item is moved into the queue by the second move object activity. But I am not sure how to assign labels to the item from there. This doesn't work:

I have to use Wait for Event to link the token to the box. Then use token.item in the next Assign Labels activity.

You must have a reference to the item in order for the Move Object activities to work. So that same reference should be available to assigns labels to the item.

This is how i reference to the item, by using sql query in Pull from List. How do I go about creating a label here?

The List is my inventory list i.e. my inbound items were pushed to this list On Entry to my rack.
