Is it possible to assign different priorities to each item and have the ASRS retrieve them according to their priority? If so, how should I assign the item priorities and how should I write the ASRS queue strategy?
Make the ASRS retrieve items according to their priority
FlexSim 24.0.2
@j08j, let me assume, because you haven’t provided a model, you let create tasksequences by the FlexSim engine in object, which have an option of Use Transport. Then you can set a number value of priority for this transport job. You can try, if this priority field accepts a source code returning number. Then you can evaluate an item label for this priority value. If this field cannot evaluate a source code function, then you can choose in selecting a reference an picklist option of using tasksequence example one and edit this code to parse a priority value by reading an item label.
Based on the instructions for retrieval and placement, I hope to achieve that the retrieval and placement processes can each follow their own separate rules.
Although I can specify rules for placement, the items are still retrieved according to FIFO. However, when I specify the retrieval rules as follows, the entire simulation ignores the retrieval and placement instructions and retrieves and places items according to my specified rules.
Your code looks like an interactive code manipulation inside a running model. And your order of tasksequences is a result of item label value called ”Order” in descending manner.
Please test a behavior first in a simplified standard model, before you try to introduce it as an interactive dynamically created model code. There are so many different mechanisms involved, if you build a model interactively. And maybe a code works in a standard built model, but it may not work in an automatically created model, because just of the fact that a reset action is needed to compile internally a code.
And at some point when you leave standard model building procedures, you become responsible for this path solemnly alone yourself.

If we haven't heard back from you within 3 business days we'll auto-accept an answer, but you can always comment back to reopen your question.
In other questions you posted the ASRS pulled task sequences from a list, so you could control the ordering of input and output tasks. If this is still true then you can add an expression field to the list that reads the priority label and order by it in the pull query.
