How can I store packages of the same batch in the same Queue?

Hello,

I have a program in which a crane deposites packages in the closest available Queues. Each item simulates a package and has a label of the batch it belongs to and the number of package it represents. ¿How can I do so that if a package from batch X has been deposited in Queue 1, the rest of the packages of that batch go to the same one? Remember that the crane stores packages in the closest available Queues.

Thanks!

Software Version:

FlexSim 23.1.2

You'll first look for a matching batch in the queues (or store the batch to queue relationship in a Map as you assign them and use that for a direct lookup) in order to send to a matching batch. Then if no match is found then send to the nearest queue - either one that is empty or not depending on your requirements.
