Version 20.1, Assign boxes to rack bay based on item type using process flow

PickFromRack.fsmHello, I am new to FlexSim. I have a rack with 5 slots, each holding 5 different items. I am trying to assign items to bays in the rack based on their type. I'm using process flow to generate tokens (boxes) that will reside in the rack. Later I want to coordinate picking with replenishment. But, I can't get passed item assignment after trying a lot of different things (and reviewing posts). I think something is wrong with my rack settings, but I can't seem to find the answer. The first item/box goes to the bottom level of rack in first bay, and each subsequent item goes to the same location (hiding the previous items). Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi @fortnasim.administrator,

Just to sum up our conversation from earlier:

  1. Use the "Slot Label" painting tool to paint labels onto your rack.
  2. We need an "Assign Lables" activity and a "Custom Code" activity before the move object.

I hope this helps!
