Hi,

The problem is that you are using the label item to reference the pallet but also for the objets, so it is overwritten.

Also, the unload activity its pointing the operator, instead of the task sequence you've created.

Thank you so much @Iago MF.

Can I pick available box from rack1 without creating in process flow. because now operator picks box which create in process flow but I want that he needs to pick available box from rack1 that's why I was created boxes in source2

Hi,

You can use the Find Item activity to find item in Racks:
