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.

Software Version:

FlexSim 19.1.0

combiner flowitems

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.

Hi @Jörg Vogel

Thanks for the reply!!

I tried creating it without the combiner. In the entry trigger of the racks like in the model attached. But i am actually getting error. Any suggestions?test-model-v1.fsm

Number of totes="Unit load"
