How can I add data from the global or excel variable to the combiner, I have been trying to do this and am not getting it?

@Luan L,

The easiest way to accomplish this is to use an On Entry trigger on the Combiner itself that uses a label on the incoming container to determine the packing list for each different "Typo" in your list. I've created a simple example of this that uses a "Type" label. This can be found under the Triggers tab in the Combiner properties.

The "Type" label is used to find the column of GlobalTable1 that contains the proper number of items that come from input ports 2 and 3, as shown in your table.

Here's the example model. Let me know if you have questions about how it works.

trigger update combiner list.fsm

It only works if the pallets have a label called "Type". If the label is different on the pallets, you need to change the label value on the trigger.
