Using Storage System and ProcessFlow to store flowitem in rack

Hello, I'm simply trying to store flowitems to the specific location in the rack using ProcessFlow. I use Storage System to define the address, but when I run the flow, I get invalid destination at move object. But I don't exactly understand what is wrong with my destination definition. Could someone help me out? Thank you in advance.CreateItemOnRack.fsm

Software Version:

FlexSim 20.0.4

Hi, I've managed to get one flowitem correctly to the designated address, however I get error from the second one and the third one, at the Move Object. I have no idea why the second and the third one fails. Could someone help me?

Thank you in advance

@ryosuke.s,

The main problem is in your addressing scheme. Notice in the following pic, the Aisle ID of your rack is "_1", but in your table the address of the Aisle is "01":

In "Address Schemes", change the Aisle ID to numeric, or manually update the Aisle ID in the objects tab.

Second, your second flow item is trying to put something on level 7, but you only have 6 levels. I changed it to 01-03-03 and it worked.

Please see the attached model:

@benjamin.w2, Could you teach me one more thing? I've changed the Address scheme. To be exact, I checked off the Fixed Length, and now I define my address like 2-9-6. However, the exception occurs. Do I always have to define as 02-09-06? It works ok with this scheme. I've been testing with 20.0.8.

If you look under the "Objects" tab, you will see that your Aisle IDs still have a 0 in front of them:

Just delete the zero and your model will work fine.
