Remove empty pallets from rack

Hi everyone, I have a model where my inbound pallets with boxes will be placed on racks, and the boxes will be picked based on a picking list. I need to create a trigger that does this - whenever there is an empty pallet (all boxes were picked from that pallet), the pallet will be transferred to a sink to create empty space on the rack for new inbound pallets.

Does anyone have any idea how can I do this? Many thanks!

When ever you pick an item from your pallets, then you check the content:

item to pick: item.up is a reference to the pallet. item.up.subnodes.length is the content of the pallet.

If the content becomes 0 then you create a transport job for the pallet.
