hello!
This is a question regarding a put-away process which I am trying to model. I'm trying to get my Operators and Transporters to place multiple items at one go at each rack slot/location. They are currently taking items in batches of 60, and then placing 1 box down at a time at different locations on random basis. Is there any way for them to place 10 boxes down instead - meaning there will only be 6 placements per a single batch of 60
Would greatly appreciate any help, thank you!

Hi @yuliong
I think that an easier way to accomplish this would be to use Process Flow. I have attached a sample model that gives you an idea of how to do so using Process Flow. (Process Flow will give you a little more control over your operations. You can learn more about Process Flow in the tutorials.)
To enable Operators to place multiple items at a single rack location, you might need to adjust your put-away process settings or configure batch processing in your system. Check your system's documentation for bulk placement options or consider customizing the process to streamline item placements.
