I am looking for the best way to set inventory levels for 150+ spare parts in my model. The inventory will need to decrease and increase throughout the simulation.

I would like to refer to the BicycleAssembly Simio Simbit as I'm using it as a reference to set up my own model. As I set the Initialization step of my model, I read the Orders table row by row, using a global variable called CurrentRowNumber. However, when an order entity is created, I would like to keep track of the row in the Orders table that entity is created from with a model-entity level state variable. However, I'm not sure how to do. I cannot just assign the value of this ModelEntity.State = GlobalCurrentRowNumber as the GlobalCurrentRowNumber continuously changes as the simulation runs. May I have some suggestion as to how to do so? Thank you

I want to monitor the total inventory of all servers. Lets say only InputBuffer of all Servers is enough. So i want to see how much buffer i need/have when i have random server failures, repair times and changing processing times (later i also want to add random arrival times). So therefore i was focusing on the HourlyStatistic Simbit which i think is really helpful to get started with the Plots. Because i have many servers i did like in Simbit recommended and created a Server Object. With the intention that i can monitor the inventory of all servers together without doing the assignments for every single server. And then i created some experiments with the total inventory as a response value. I add a small model where u can see my experiments. So it worked but i can only see the inventory for each server. But i want the combined inventory. Goal of my model: Analyzing / Monitoring actual inventory level of all servers while changing failure rates, repair time and processing time. Problems: --> How can i monitor the inventory of all servers together, in the experiments as well as in the plots? I thought i could do that with the server object. --> Can i change a standard library server to my created server object without deleting already created servers and entering everything again? Thank you very much again, that forum helped me already a lot.I hope i could describe my problem clearly. (The model i added consists of 2 servers, 2 sinks, 2 sources. The vehicle transports the entities to the servers. Servers have random failure, repair and processing time. Vehicle drives always the same fixed tour and delivers specific entity to specific server.) InventoryMonitoring.spfx
