How to keep pallets in Rack

Hi everyone,

I have an issue with Rack. The items are placed at wrong place.

How do I keep items in Rack with right bin and exactly capacity I set up ?

Thank you.

Make sure that the placement logic is configured correctly. To limit how many items are placed in a cell, choose either Random If Available or First Available and set the correct maximum cell content for the both the bay and the level. Then also make sure that the overall maximum content does not surpass the sum of the allowed content of the cells.

If you want to place more than one item in a cell and stack them in a different way than the default (behind each other) you have to add your own placement logic to the On Entry trigger of the rack. The example below stacks up to two items in each cell on top of each other.
