One type of flow item in rack, but with a random selection from previous Queue.

Hi,I want to simulate a Rack system with a previous queue that receive Flowitems of different types. This Racks have to represent the real warehouse distribution analyzing the the % of available space and study the Transporter movements. I need that the racks receive only one type of flow item, and if another type have to be storage, search to another rack with the same type or a free rack.

I did a model based the port dispatch based in a table, but if you have a better idea I will appreciate it. Also could be a rack that put in a bay only one type of item based in the first that arrived to that bay.

Im trying to upload the file but I have problems

Matching item types works well but when the rack is full, don´t send to another available rack.

Then it is up to you, you can adjust the source code of the template. Or you build a logic in Process Flow.
