Loading one item per slot according to the type and dispatching items by time

I'm working on a warehouse model. In this ocassion I need to place just one item per slot according to the type. The label of the item is "Cliente" and it goes form 1 to 12:

I checked a example here but it doesn't allow the floor storage to be a fixed resource, however I'm also working on the dispatch of these items by time and to do that, I need the floor storage to be a fixed resource.

Also, when I diselect this option and follow the provided code in the example, it still doesn't work.

That's why I would like to know if there is another alternative to place items as I need, keeping the floorstorage fixed.

@XiomaraG, maybe you have painted bays to hold items of same slot label value. Then you haven’t got enough available free slots to store in more than one level. You should order your query then by bayID instead of levelID.

If you have multiple racks that have slots with matching attributes the query isn't sufficient since it can return a slot in any rack. Add the clause to find a slot in this rack:

...." AND slot.storageObject=$2" 

while passing in current as the second parameter.

You don't need to order by level or bay, because you have painted available slots by label value already:

Storage.Slot slot = Storage.system.findSlot("WHERE slot.myLabel = $1.Type AND slot.slotItems.length < 1",0,item);
if (slot){
    storageItem.assignedSlot = slot;
    return 0;
}

findslot_by_slotitems_length_and_label.fsm this example works as fixed resource.
