Conveyor and new rack

Hi,

In 2019.2, it seems you cannot send directly from the conveyor to the warehouse rack.

See attached model (all default settings).

It used to work perfectly. I use this often in a demo and I was unpleasantly surprised in a demo today that it did not work.

Hi @dj.moens,

The new racks are designed to better support the locating and sorting of objects in racks and, as a result, the incoming items need to be assigned to slots. For whatever reason, the Entry Transfer is unable to "assign" a slot for the item entering a rack. @jordan.johnson, is this an intended behavior?

As a temporary workaround, the easiest thing to do would be to disable the "Pull Strategy" under the Flow tab of the Rack.
