How to configure rack storage

I would like to know how to configure rack storage-that is, that pallets with blue boxes are stored in the first ten bays, pallets with green boxes are stored in the next ten, and so on.

Original question: Quiero saber como configurar en los racks la ubicación, es decir que un pallet con cajas azules se almacena en las primeras 10 bahías, las verdes en las siguientes 10 y así sucesivamente.

In the rack's properties you can define racking logic in the "Rack" tab. You will probably want to select "By Expression" for the "Place in Bay" option. However, the default options are only to store items in a bay corresponding to a itemtype or label (e.g. type 1 goes to bay 1). I wrote a tiny bit of code in the model to define this, although there may be an easier way to do it. In this example I set a label called "itemtype" on the different pallets and sent the first value to the first 5 bays and the second value to bays 6-11. See attached sample model.

En la caja de "Properties" para el rack se puede configurar el logico para el almacenamiento. La opcion que correspondera mejor a esta situacion es "By Expression" en la opcion llamada "Place in Bay". Sin embargo, solo ubicara pallets que corresponden con un label o "itemtype" sin que lo cambiemos (por ejemplo "type" 1 va en bahia 1). Escribi un poco de codigo (vease al modelo) para definir este logico, pero es posible que hay una manera mas facil de definirlo. Para este ejemplo, fije un label llamado "itemtype" en cada pallet. "itemtype" 1 se manda a las bahias 1 a 5 y "itemtype" 2 a bahias 6 a 11. Esto puede ser cambiado facilmente para mejor ayudarle con sus necesidades. Y perdoneme por mi Espanol!

if there isn't a strict rule to place only a distinct number of items in an itemtype's area, you can use the template Place in Bay randomly if available. In the source code you find a line with the initiating of the variable firstguess. The variable is set by a duniform function. The duniform parameter are 1 for the first bay and rackgetnrofbays(current) for the last bay. If you alter both parameters dependent on the itemtype you set searching interval for a available bay of the following source code. But if the routine doesn't find an available bay or higher inside, the routine searches for an available bay lower than the randomly chosen interval.
