I am trying to create an item in the rack that already has some placing logic (bays and levels) it also has entry trigger logic that colours pallet by label type. My <STRONG>token.Bin</STRONG> is the name of the rack e.g. "Y4_04" and an object is the pallet. The item is created only when the rack is empty and it is always placed in the same spot.</P> <P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper" image-alt="17269-createobj.png"><img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/1498597i07BEFA1A4F947B80/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;px=999" role="button" title="17269-createobj.png" alt="17269-createobj.png" /></span></P> <P>I am trying to do it for almost an hour so I would really appreciate your help <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":slightly_smiling_face:">🙂</span></P> Sun, 10 Feb 2019 13:56:52 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/flexsim-forum/how-to-create-an-item-in-the-rack-using-process-flow/m-p/13504042#M18526 kamil_ks 2019-02-10T13:56:52Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/flexsim-forum/how-to-create-an-item-in-the-rack-using-process-flow/m-p/13504043#M18527 <P><A rel="user" href="https://answers.flexsim.com/users/11455/kamilks.html" nodeid="11455">@Kamil KS</A>, can you try to create an item in a queue? Let this item enter the rack object. This is easier than to replicate the complete entering process into rack by code or process flow. </P><P>An item leaves traces in a table of content, a table of location, a dwell time event. If the item behaves different to normal processed item, you evaluate labels at the item that results in different bay, level and dwell time at the triggers or functions in the rack. </P><P>If you want to understand what an object does to an item, please don’t assume the behavior. You watch what the object does, look into the tree and what functions are involved. </P><P>And please ask single topic question:</P><OL><LI>How to add a label to an item from process flow?</LI><LI>How to create an item in a rack?</LI></OL> Sun, 10 Feb 2019 15:14:25 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/flexsim-forum/how-to-create-an-item-in-the-rack-using-process-flow/m-p/13504043#M18527 joerg_vogel_HsH 2019-02-10T15:14:25Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/flexsim-forum/how-to-create-an-item-in-the-rack-using-process-flow/m-p/13504044#M18528 <P>Unfortunately, there are 500 racks in my model so adding Queues would be difficult.

If you unload the created item to the rack, then the standard rack storage mechanism will place the item for you. </P> Mon, 11 Feb 2019 09:47:03 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/flexsim-forum/how-to-create-an-item-in-the-rack-using-process-flow/m-p/13504045#M18529 joerg_vogel_HsH 2019-02-11T09:47:03Z
