Hi,

The problem is that you are using the label item to reference the pallet but also for the objets, so it is overwritten.

Also, the unload activity its pointing the operator, instead of the task sequence you've created.

Thank you so much @Iago MF.

Can I pick available box from rack1 without creating in process flow. because now operator picks box which create in process flow but I want that he needs to pick available box from rack1 that's why I was created boxes in source2

Hi,

You can use the Find Item activity to find item in Racks:

Thank you.

But if there are multiple racks then how its work to define specific rack to load.

Then you have to use a query instead o Any Item inside the Find Slot Activity, depending on the logic you want to recreate.

Here you have the links to the documentation of Storage System and Find Slot Activity
