@Gideon

Hi,

Here's a model where I have changed getitemtype(involved) to getlabel(involved,"Type"). with this change the model function based on your constraint. In the updated FlexSim version, when we set an item type value to an item, the model does not return the item type value in getitemtype commend. we have to use getlabel commend to get the set item type value.

Hi @gilbert jerald

Thank you for your reply.

However, the model is still doesn't work.

Is it on our source we also have to change the trigger On Creation from Set Item Type and Color to Set Label?

Or I rephrase my questions, how can I get each source to represent one color? For example, source 1 is blue, source 2 is green, source 3 is red, and source 4 is yellow.

And these respective items will flow to their respective sink.

Thank you Gilbert!

Hi Gideon

Following attachment, I have made some changes in on creation trigger in the "source" that create one color and one item type for each source.
