the operator has to withdraw not by chance but from a specific location. I have a list of orders. each order corresponds to a tote. the operator must picking the box from a bay of a specific rack

so for example for the first order (first tote) the operator must take: -n ° 1 produced by bay4 of rack 01S; -n ° 1 produced by bay5 of rack 01S; -n ° 1 produced by bay4 of rack 01D. how can I do?

Hi @maura.m2,

You will need to use the new warehousing feature of flexsim to accomplish this. Check out this documentation and sample model.

SpecifyBay.fsm

Additionally, here is a great post by one of our developers to demonstrate the new warehousing functions in depth:
