Hey @mmufli, I'm not sure what you're asking in the second part of your question. I understand that you'd like to put "20 items in a box". Here's a simple model that can do that using a Combiner.

box-in-tote.fsm

It simply takes in a Tote as the "container" and then requires 20 boxes to fill the tote.

Could you please explain more about how you want transporters involved? Thank you.

Hello, thanks @Kavika F for your response. But my problem still stands there. what i meant here was when we connect source to a queue or a conveyor the box which is coming through the source should contain 20 SKUs in that box or tote. this is the example image need to have from source nhkogaqp7jjlhfwxixti0cczs43kd6tsxsach3ms.jpeg

@mmufli, Kavika suggested an approach that shows how to do it for a beginner in FlexSim. You can achieve this by writing a source code in a single object like a queue or a source. BUT this wouldn’t be a solution for someone who is still struggling with basic modeling.

You could also detect the creation event in a process flow and use the CreateObject activity to put 15 in the created tote (you show 15 items...)

Hey @mmufli, Joerg is correct when he says I made the previous model with a beginner in mind. Here's a model that is still simple but uses Process Flow to accomplish what you want using the "CreateObject" activity in PF.
