Selection of set of Racks for the collection of material

[ FlexSim 24.1.1 ]

Hello,

In the attached model I have 2 racks where I create small boxes in one of them and larger boxes in the other in a Process Flow of objects for each one (RackLig and RackVol).

In the Process Flow (RecogidaAlmacen) I created the logic to pick up the pieces from the Rack with small pieces. But when I run the model it takes boxes from the Racks with small pieces but also from the Racks with large pieces.

How can I tell you the set of Racks from which I want the box to be extracted?

Thanks in advance!!

Use an address scheme to differentiate between the racks. For example by using different zone IDs.

Thanks for the response.

By applying your advice I have fixed that problem.

But another one appears

In the RackLig Collection Process Flow I only want to extract boxes from the RackLig...then I have put:

but in the Process Flow "RackLig" when I run the model the tokens accumulate in the Find Slot and do not go to the Move Object activity, however the small boxes appear in the RackLig:

I also have another question about the run sub flow of the Process Flow "RackLig". If in the create Object activity I tell it to create 50 and I sign the item label to the token and in the Quantity of the Run Sub Flow I put 50 because I get this:

Aren't I supposed to run the Sub Flow of 50 and not 3 tokens of 10, 7 and 7 respectively?

I attached the model.

Thanks in advance!!

Not all racks have slots for all types.

The 10/7/7 tokens are just the ones that couldn't find a slot.
