Sending some quantity of Items between specific Objects of 2 different FR Lists

Hi everybody,

In a simulation, I have delivery with 22 the same Items. The process flow looks as follows:

Source1 -> Queue1 -> ControlPoint1 -> (multiple) Floor Storages -> (multiple) Racks

I would like to send 2 or 3 Items from specify FloorStorage to specify Rack in this way:

FloorStorage_A -> RackWA

FloorStorage_B -> RackWB

FloorStorage_C -> RackWC

Items should be stored in the middle of each rack in GreenArea.

Is this possible to make via 2 different Fixed Resource Lists in Process Flow? Maybe there is a more simple way to make this work? I will be very thankful if you help.

I attach my model.

Warehouse_test.fsm

Software Version:

FlexSim 20.0.3

@Jack FIn order to store the items from floorstorage onto rack I've done the following:

a) connect centerport of FloorStorage_A to RackWA. This is to get all flowitems at FloorStorage to only put away in RackWA

b) Paint labels "XYZ" which is a arbitrary name onto bays (or cells) of the Rack that you want to store the items.

c) Whenever a item presents itself at FloorStorage_A, attempt to get a slot in RackWA with sufficient spaces and has label XYZ matches the slot label. This way the item will only be placed at slots that has "matching labels" between the token and the slot.

d) If space is available, put away in RackWA. Otherwise, I have assigned to some random activities, but you may want to put into Sink or decide what you wanted to do with it.

Attached is your model modified but I've only done for FloorStorage_A and RackWA. Hope it can be of help.
