How Can I set Quantity of parts

I would like to set quantity of parts being picked and change parts table to be based on empirical distribution. for example in table ActiveOrder when I set Qty to 1 it means 1 pallet, Qtyof parts when it is 2 means 2 type of parts will be on pallet. I would like to use empirical distribution (probability) so will run distribution 2 times to know which 2 type of parts to pick, and quantity of each type of parts it should be based on table look up (getvalue). latestpicking table.fsm @Felix Möhlmann @Jeanette F if you have input that would be great! Thank you

Instead of using always using the entire "Parts" table, make the lenght of the "pickArray" label dependent on the Qtyofparts column. Then, determine the partnumber via the distribution rathen than assuming that index == table row.

@Felix Möhlmann Thank you! just to make model genral not just for one empirical distribution. I have for each T1,T2 in Activeorder table a different distribution. How to do that? edit: I know easy way is to use case. just in case there is an easy way!

I'd just add the name of the distribution to the table and write it to a token label together with the other values.

Thank you @Felix Möhlmann it works perfect. just a follow up question for picking closes distance and start from the beginning of aisle then go. for this example picking it should pick part C,B then E

I added labels Aisle, Bay, Level, Slot

then sort by them and still didn't work. Do you have any idea how solve this problem
