Count boxes in a rack

Hi! I am building a cross docking model. One of the requirments is to count the boxes that weren't dispatched in the racks at 7 am of the next day, so then I could make new orders. It is possible to do that? How could I count the boxes left in the racks? Thank you

You can count any first subnode level by rackobj.subnodes.length

If you have items on pallets then you will need to find them recursively.

This is a job for a command like forobjecttreeunder.

If you want to get them over more racks or your whole warehouse, then it is a task for method queryItems

But this method count only items in the first subnode level. This evaluates only the references directly stored in your warehouse. It will count the pallets, but not the items or totes on the pallet.
