People often create output or center port connections between the decision points and refer to those. Alternatively you can add pointer labels to the DPs with meaningful names as the destination:

current.goodPartDP 
current.recirсDP

When you add a pointer label use the sampler to select the object for its value.

Thank you so much for your answer. I have one more question. When start running the model, I give the rack already has some item and ASRS need to bring the item down to outbound conveyor after that they need to bring new item from inbound conveyor go to the rack. So can I setting ASRS Dispatcher Strategy to random pick on 3D model? or I need to set in process flow only?

That should really be a new question.

You want to select alternating item locations/destinations while both exist. Using standard task sequences that means looking at the involved parameter of tasks in the sequence. You can select one of the existing options and edit the code to make it alternate by storing a label on the ASRS to record the state (eg. last destination) or you can create a (object) process flow for the ASRS to alternately pull the two different job types from a list (of items or task sequences). Using a timeout on the list allows you to carry on pulling one type if the other does not exist.
