How to make pallet using batch in process flow?

I'm make a generic supply model. I'm trying to assemble a pallet of between 10 and 13 items that, after forming the batch, must be moved to the conveyor. But I can't form the batch correctly to transfer to Queue 3.

@Will, please look for pack pallet. One basic approach has provided @Regan Blackett.

Your batch command is aggregating pickType token labels to a Pallet label - the result being a single numeric. When you try to unload to token.Pallet it doesn't have a pointer to a pallet it just has the numeric value 1 - which is why you get your error messages.

Thank you for your help!

I managed to solve it. First, I created a pallet in the queue, via process flow to have a reference in the token. Then I moved the batch to the pallet. Finally, move pallet + batch to another queue.
