@DomeOrdonez,

Do you have a model that shows what you've been working on?

Hey @DomeOrdonez ,
I would like to understand completely what you're asking since I'm not sure if you're just looking for a visual representation.

A pallet comes with four boxes. After a box finishes Control Calidad they should be fill with x number of items of clothing, am I right?

Do you want to create a logic that show how an operator takes each item and put it in a box before storage the box?

Wouldn't it be possible to just create a label in each box that stores the number of items of clothing that there are in the boxes?

Try please to elaborate more exactly what you need

Hey!!

So the thing is that each box is supposed to be filled with individual items. This items can be smaller boxes or bags of individual clothing pieces. The goal is to take this individual items to the different racks according to their type. For example, if in a box i have 4 smaller boxes and three hanging items, after "Control de calidad" these two types have to be stored in different racks. I dont know if it is clear now. lmk

@DomeOrdonez ,

You need to use Process Flow to create that logic. The logics starts when an item finishes Control de Calidad, with that token you start to create the smalls items that each box is supposed to carry. Then you start to segregate those small items according to the logic and bring them to the slot assigned in the inventory.

This requires:

Basic concepts of Process Flow
Run Sub Flow
Task Logics

I suggest you to walk through the following tutorials:

I'll help you with a demo model that show how to create different objects from one. Assume a box carry each pieces of clothes.
