Placing Items on Rack: Any Help?

Hi,

I've created a sample model in which I'm trying to get the operator to do the followings:

1- Retrieve items from Queue 1 and place them on a cart ( how I can use the cart object to be two shelves?) and place as many items with the same SKU as she could fit on the cart. See pic below.

The cylinder is incorrectly placed in the rack since you have a ChangeVisual activity that is incorrectly placing it.

You say you created that packing method for the cart, but there is no packing method defined for it, and the cart is not actually a container flowitem it's a People library prop so by default has no OnReceive behavior by which to invoke a packing method.

To store the items in the rack you need to get slots for each one and then unload each one to the rack. For more flexibility you could add another column in your table called "StoreInTote" which you could check before putting the tote/items in the rack
