Hello All,
In this model there are different types of items and as per items it will combing in combiner
for example, for type1 8items are arrival but pack Qty for type1 is 6items then remaining 2 will combine in next pallet and move to next pallet.
But here for next pallet its combining other type of items also. but I want to do is combiner only pack same type of items
Thank you in advance

This would mean that a batch needs to be complete before it can be released to the combiner as not to clog up the process with a partial batch.
So apart from placing the items on the pallet the combiner doesn't actually do anything useful. I'd strongly suggest to just use Process Flow for the batching in this case.
Process will continue in sequence. For example, In model you can see 105types boxes will come combine as per batch(9boxes) and then for next pallet I want remaining 4 will combine and transfer to queue. and then for next pallet another types of boxes will combine.
But you can see in this model first 9 boxes(type 105) will combine and for pallet remaining 4 and 2 from type78 is combining which I don't want. means 1 pallet only one type.
You can use custom code in the "Group By" field to release a partial batch from the Batch activity if the new token belongs to an item with a different type. That will enforce a FIFO order for the items.
