I want to setup a source to add rework to the queue pending to be processed.
I setup priority = 1 for the rework items from the source but it doesn't not get to transfer and processed first. How should I set this up?
Is it possible to set priority in a global table and use that higher priority items get transferred and processed first?
First you need a way to differentiate between normal items and rework items. For this I added the "Rework" label to all items with a value of either 0 or 1.
You can now use this label in two different spots to give priority to the rework items.
- Make the priority of the transport task sequence created in Process Flow (Create TS) depend on the label, so rework items are moved first.
- Make Queue1-4 sort their items by the rework label whenever a new item enters (On Entry Trigger -> Control -> Sort By Expression)
I modified the arrival times of Source3 to show both cases in the attached model.
How do I approach to set up rework arrival by percentage?
For example, Product 1 have 30% rework rate. I want to setup a rework part "ProductRW1" to have arrival at 30% of the time.
Currently, the arrival schedule will always have a ProductRW1 right after Product1.
Please let me know if this is a good approach or there is a better way to handle this.

Assign the Rework label by percentage in the On Creation trigger and adjust the Type if needed.
This method seem to work but I saw a weird pattern when the rework % at 10%, 50%, 60%, 70%.
Assume the arrival source Qty=10, at 10% shouldn't there be 1 rework item and at 70% there should be 7 rework item?
| Rework % | # of Rework item |
| 0% | 0 |
| 10% | 2 |
| 20% | 2 |
| 30% | 3 |
| 40% | 4 |
| 50% | 4 |
| 60% | 4 |
| 70% | 5 |
| 80% | 8 |
| 90% | 9 |
| 100% | 10 |
For each of the rework item, is there a way to set the itemName to ProductRW1 for product1 for example? I need the itemName=ProductRW1 so it will pull the correct rework steps from the global table.
What does this code mean below?
item.Rework == 1 ? (10):(item.Type)
Use a code snippet to set the name based on the rework label. Though I would not use names to identify items. Typically labels like "Type" are used for that purpose.
if(item.Rework == 1) {
item.name = "ProductRW1"
}
For the expression, see the box on "Ternary Operator" here:
