When a new pack is created, MES looks back to find the previous pack created at this position and assumes that was when the current pack started:
If this is the first pack for the production run, then MES looks back to the production run start:
When a new pack is created, the state of the pack is defined. This state could be, for example, created, isolated, or scrapped. The status before the inventory pack is created is any valid state, for example created, isolated, or scrapped. The status of the pack before it was completed is in progress.
