Sorting a Rack according to Item Type

Hi everyone,

This is my problem. I have a source producing two types of items, 1 and 2, which will be storaged into a rack. Items type 1 must be in Bay 1 and Level 3 while type 2 in Bay 2 Level 5. I defined a Table (Place) with Bay in Column 1 and Level in Column 2, and the expression gettablenum("Place",getitemtype(item),1) for Bay and gettablenum("Place",getitemtype(item),2) for Level, however is not working. See model attached.rack-practice.fsm

I would like to use picklists rather than coding or Process Flow.

Thank you very much for your help.

Maybe you have a tutorial of an old FlexSim version or you learned FlexSim on a past Version. The attribute itemtype changed from a separate attribute to a simple label.

gettablenum("Place",getitemtype(item),1) // previous FlexSim 17

gettablenum("Place",item.Type,1) // a mixture of old commands and new class types

Table("Place")[item.Type][1] // new class type reference for Version 19

Thank you Jörg, that worked. I'm really new in Flexsim so I have to be aware of the different versions.

@Priyanka G2, since FlexSim version 19.0 there have been so many progress that my answer had no relevance anymore for actual FlexSim versions. FlexSim 19.0 is not in support anymore. Please be so nice and ask a new question and create a thread. This is a recommended approach for already accepted answers at this forum site. You find useful hints in best practices for using this answers site on each site of this form.
