Picking by taking orders from global table

Hello everybody !

In the attached model I 'm trying to build the following logic :

I have two racks filled with boxes on pallets according to global table. The labels are pushed in a list.

Then I have some orders in the global table "Picking_list". I try to create a list with picks containing the Type of the box and the Quantity. After that I want to pull these items from the bay,level,rack,slot that exist. I can't find the correct way to achieve this.

Any ideas ?

It seems to me like you're over-complicating the picking process. If you are pulling based on "Type" and "Quantity", this can be achieved in one flow. I updated your model with an example of this. Each token created represents one row of the Picking_list table and carries labels associated with each column of the table. The tokens pull from the list of items available, pick up a case, load the items into the case, then drop off the full case at Queue1.

The key to this model is just pulling by "Type", I think. That can be found in the Pull from List activity.

Let me know if you have any questions about this model or if you were looking for a different behavior.

You 're right. There is no reason to complicate it with bay level and slot. Thanks a lot !
