Item failed to move to the right slot

Hi In the the model attached, I am trying to send the item based on the address scheme. I managed to have the slot in the token, but I failed to place the item to the right slot one the rack.

Also how do I configure Find Slot activity so that the slot is based on the address scheme.

Thanks

I think what's happening here is the Rack's slot assignment logic is firing because you have not assigned the slot to the item before it gets there.

Once you have the slot reference the assignment code is just:

Storage.Item(token.item).assignedSlot=token.slot

This is a good reason to use the warehouse activity "Find Slot" since it will do the assignment for you:
