How to make a small change to my model

How to make a small change to my model.

My current model is set up the way that my "custom combiner" can process standard order whenever there is no standard order. (I received this help from a FlexSim Expert). But I want to try many different cases. And I want to keep my current model's other setup (table, arrival rate...).

So I want to change my logic back that standard combiner should only process the standard order. Custom combiner only processes the custom order (by making changes to my current model). I know it should be a small change to my Process Flow. But I am not sure which one to change. Can someone help me with this? base-case.fsm

Software Version:

FlexSim 18.2.2

Hi Sebastian,

Thanks for helping me with a tiny change of priority.

And also fixing the"Type" label to the pallet.

but another problem occurs, which is that all my custom and standard batches got sent to a standard rack. Do you know what is causing this? custom batch should be sent to the custom rack and standard batches should be sent to the standard rack.

The idea was to give the pallets a "Type" Label and set the value on 1 if it is Standard and 2 if it is Custom. In the combiner we are saying:

Depending on the number on the label "Type" send the Pallet to the Outputport with this number!

So you´ve connected your standard cpu inventory second and this means, you are sending custom pallets to the wrong rack because you´ve connected the racks in the wrong order.

Change the order and it runs!
