Change boxes label in warehouse demo template

Hello,

I'm currently working on the "warehouse demo" template. I want to change the labels of the boxes. To do this, I've tried to replace the values in the SKUs and OrderHistory tables, where there were basically different types of "coca", with my own labels. Unfortunately, when I simulate the model, the boxes contained in the racks are still "coca" and the production orders no longer work. Only "Queue1" receives boxes with the items I want.

Could you please help me modify my model so that I can simulate it with my label values (and no longer the coca initially located in the project)?

The project is attached.

Thanks in advance.

When the initial inventory is created, the SKU of created items is determined by the SKU assigned to the slot which the item is created for :

So you will need to paint slots with the SKU values you want, using the Paint Slot Labels tool :

The displayed colours come from the SKUPalette color palette :

I painted some slots with the values of your new SKUs so the system has a few items of each type available at the start, and it appears to work. See attached model.
