Change item bay or level in storage system

I have a floor storage with 1 bay and 4 levels. When a new item arrives i have to always put it in position (1,4,1) and move the others to the lower level( The one stored in (1,4,1) to (1,3,1) and so on).

I'm trying to do it with flexscript but when i assign the new slots to the Storage.Slot.Item already stored ir doesn't move.

How can i do it with flexscript so i don't have to use a Load and unload task in the process flow and add another task executer to my model?

PD.: I read about item virtualization and if a get the stored item with Storage.Slot.Item it's a re-created item and not the original one, i didn't get what's the difference betwen them or how i can get the actual stored item from a storage and move it to another bay and level selected by me.

Software Version:

FlexSim 19.2.4

flexscript storage storage.item storage.slot.item

Assigning a slot doesn't move the item. Once you assign the new slot, you can move the object out of the rack, and move it back in with the moveobject() command or with the Move Object activity.
