Why 2nd tote starts depleting instead of first?

[ FlexSim 21.0.10 ]

Hi Team,

I have created model in which totes are unloaded from pallet and item are getting consumed from totes. I have to sent tote back to pallet once tote is empty and replace it with full tote. How can I achieve it?

Also, I would like to know what is the best way to model it.

Hello @Ankur A3,

When you "replace with a full tote" are you moving off the empty tote and moving on a full tote or is an item placed in the empty tote?

Hello @Ankur A3,

Here is a process flow that I think accomplished what you asked.

Hi @Jeanette F,

Yes, I have to move off empty tote on pallet and get full tote from pallet.

Have you looked at my model that I provided?
