drop itemtype into the correct matching queues in one trip

I hope the task executer 2 can loads 12 flowitems (3 itemtypes) each trip and drop them into the correct matching queues in this trip.

For example, from Queue2 to QueueRed, then drop all red boxes, and then go to QueueGreen, drop all green boxes(, rather than to QueueRed, drop one red box, then go to QueueGreen, drop one green box, then back to QueueRed, drop another red box).

i have no idea how to do it

thank you.

Hey @Mouad B

I think the easiest way to do this is in Process Flow. I think you should have a list that represents what the operator should load. You can use a pull from list, and leave the items on the list. Then you can have him travel to queues, and have other pull from lists that do pull the items from the list, and then unload them. If you haven't worked with process flow and/or lists in the past, here is a good tutorial on them: Process Flow and Lists

The reason why you would do it this way is to dynamically query when you are unloading. You can use SQL queries to get what you need from the list.
