Set the position on a rack with process flow

I hace a rack (floor storage) and I want to set the ítems in specific places with a custom order, I tried to do so with process flow but I dont know how to set the place from a general process flow, because if I use a subflow I wont have the information of the last placed ítem.

FlexSim 17.1.2

First of all, Somewhere in your Process Flow add a number label to the item (not just the token, but on the item itself) for both the Level and Bay you want the item to be placed in. Then in the Rack's properties under the Rack tab, there is some options for both Place in Bay, and Place in Level. All you need to do, is select the "By Expression." Then in both just put: item.labelName

Where labelName will be your Bay and Level label names respectively.
