Round Robin in Process Flow

I want items batch in the queue 'reject' based on the table 'picktable'. After the correct items batch on the reject queue, I want the connected transporter to transport each batched item, 1 at a time in a round robin fashion between queues 'roundrobin1' and 'roundrobin2'. thanks!

Hello @Qiana C,

You can use the Decide activity to round robin the queues the transporter travels to in your task sequence.

I have attached a model that demonstrates this.

thanks! the transportation round robin for process flow is what i am looking for, but the batching is not quite there. I want to wait until 2 items are batched in the queue, then transport to the next step. then batch 4 items, and then transport. This batches all the items at once (2+4+6) before transporting to the next step. Thanks!
