Dynamic batching using processflow

Hi I would like to create the following scenario with processflow and I need some advise.

1. One batch of material that consists of 10 part arrives

2. Go through inspection where 10% fall out.

3. The remains will move on to another process as a batch.

Please advise how do I use List or Batch to perform such model. Thanks

David

@david.chan,

Instead of batching, have you considered using a list? Push the items to a list. Then use List activity to pull 10 of them. (You can also use a query here if you need to specify other parameters such as itemtype) Then have it go through the process, after the 10% have fallen out, push the new items back on the list (or a different list) to be pulled. Would that work for your situation?
