Batch incomplete

Hi

I'm using flowitems to input 20 orders, and each order has a different number of items.

The batch I used is 30, but the last batch is less than 30. I want to know how to send the rest to the next station

Hello @Liam Chiu,

I have two solutions for you.

The first is to allow the items to be batched within their orders and the second is to batch the items independent of their order.

For the first solution I changed the process flow so the parent token has a label that contains all the items for that order. Once the order is finished processing the items of the order are batched in groups of 30 unless there are not enough to make 30 then it just batches what is left of that order.

batch_autosave_2.fsm

The second solution is to just add a Max Wait Timer. Considering the process time is 10 seconds and the batch is 20 on the queue, you could do 200 seconds for the Max Wait Time.
