# Order in bulk the total number of requested robot parts

This is a 3-Step Process which takes a list of orders and computes the total number of

heads, bodies and legs that we have to order.

This is a funny practical approach of the

[SplitCombine](https://github.com/robocorp/example-workitems-splitcombine) pattern:

- Problem: Having to process multiple input Work Items before being able to create just

  one output Work Item with the final result at the end of the iteration.

- Solution: Creating an empty output Work Item attached to the initial input one, then

  saving later on the final result data into it.

## Tasks

1. `Read And Split Orders`: Splits a list of orders from **robotsparebin-orders** input

   Work Item into individual output ones.

2. `Compute Number Of Parts`: Computes a total for every requested part type: heads,

   bodies and legs. Then creates an output Work Item with the total.

3. `Order The Parts In Bulk`: Generates an invoice with the total number of body parts

   we have to order.

### Notes

- For the first task (#1) select the already present input Work Item to run with:

  **robotsparebin-orders**

- For every subsequent task (#2, #3) select as input the last output obtained from the

  previous step. Example:

  - Task #1: robotsparebin-orders

  - Task #2: run-2

  - Task #3: run-3
