Create a flowitem inside a flowitem and this product inside a flowitem

Hi there,

I want to create a flowitem basically like. A pallet carrying 10 totes(variable) and each tote carrying 30 boxes(flowitem) in it. I tried this using a combiner but doesn't serve my need.

Thanks in advance.

A combiner does this. But it isn’t done in one step.
  • pack boxes into tote
  • pack totes onto pallet

You can do this in Process Flow.

  • create objects inside other object references
  • move created objects into another.
