Hi @Natalia G6

combination of product types at one arrival.fsm

Alternate Way;

Please refer the attached model to create a Combination of product type at one arrival. To open the attached sample model you need to upgrade your Flexsim version to 20.2.3 or above

I have used a Process Flow, "Schedule Source" activity, "Create Object" activity with Bernoulli Distribution to create label "Type" on an objects at Queue1 and "Change visual" activity to give color to the type of an object

Hi @Natalia G6,

Create Different type of items.fsm

Please refer the attached model,

I have created type of item for both cases without using process flow

To create different type of items you can use Demperical Distribution

But Conditions is sum of the probability column must be equal to 100 which you can see in global table "DifferentTypeofitems" in the model and Second column is the label which you can give as per your requirement

Thanks for your help @Yogesh H , it was really useful, in other case if I want to create more than 2 products with different percentages, it is possible to create different labels of this type.
