picking more quantities

hi, attached I uploaded a model.
I have two questions:
1) is there a way to insert the racks in the global table through an excel table and not use the sampler button?
2) the operator picks up only one product from each position, can he pick more quantities from the racks? For example: from order 1 from rack01S I would like to take 5 pieces; from order 1 from rack 03D I would like to take 10 pieces etc.
How can I do? Thanks

Hello @FEDERICO F,

You can use a string data column for the racks like your first column of orders in your global table. The rack names in that would not have the slash( Rack,1 not /Rack1). In the process flow save the rack name to the token like you have. The difference is in the travel activity. The destination in the travel activity will be

//note: I saved my rack name in the label Rack
model.find( token.Rack)

Your process flow that checks to make sure all the items are picked is great! To pick all the items and then unload all the items of the order you will have to separate the load and unload into their own decision loops. The loops logic and structure will basically be the same but the first loop is only to see if all items were picked and the second loop is to see if all items were unloaded. Please let me know if you need more clarification.
