Flow rack with totes -> amount of parts

Hello!

I have some flow racks in my model. In racks - totes, it totes - parts. I have a "content" dashboard, that shows amount of totes in each rack. But how can I get amount of parts instead of amount of totes?

Thanks in advance

You could add a Tracked Variable label to each rack. In the On Entry and On Exit triggers, increment/decrement that label by the number of subnodes of the entering/exiting item.

You can then display those label values in a chart (need to sample the label node from the tree).
