The values for "produit" and "queue" are not assigned to the token, so the "pack" array you generate in the batch activity only contains NULL values.

Once you fix this, assign each subflow its own value for "produit" from the array, so they have the information what type of item to load.

"produit" is just a numerical value, that you used to find a fitting item in the rack. You need a reference to the actual Flow Item. Since you know their current position (loaded on the trolley), you can access them through that, as subnodes of the trolley.

Note that "Run Tokens One at a Time" is checked. Due to this "token.transpalet.last" (last subnode of transpalet) will point to a different item each time, since the previous item is unloaded before the next token is created.

I use the label name "item" to store the reference. You of course have to adjust the load and unload activity accordingly.
