Hello!
The operator takes only 1 item at a time and stores it. My questions: how can I change the quantity? How can I change my model so that the operator puts all the products of an order (OrderID) on the rack at the same time? (if possible in a random slot). Could i do it with a token batch?
Thanks a lot!
Martin

Racks or nowadays Warehousing is a new module since 19.2. You assign slots by a findslot method in a query. The method expects that you cast the item into a storage item. Then you can find a slot in the storage system. With an assigned slot you can identify the rack object and unload the item into the rack.
If your query does not return a random slot then you can find all available slots. The method returns an array of slots. Then you split one element of the array by a duniform statistical function over the range of first to the last element to assign this slot to an item to get stored into the storage system.
I think you need to have one token for the storage job which has all the items you want to store listed on it as an array. That means you need to decide how to batch the items together into a single storage task.
