| *MES OIB Resource* |               |      | waitForPreviousTrackout | <ResourceName>, MES \| Flag, [Retries=10], [Interval=1000] | Enables waiting for the material to be Tracked-Out at the specified resource. if 'MES' is specified, the service *GetObjectByName* will be used to get the Track-Out info. If 'Flag' is specified, the internal persistency flags will be used. Optional parameters 'Retries' and 'Interval' allow specifying a maximum number of polling attempts and delay interval between them.
| *MES OIB Resource* |               |      | waitIfRecipeIsBeingChanged |  <True>, [Retries=10], [Interval=1000] | Enable waiting while a Recipe change is in progress. Optional parameters 'Retries' and 'Interval' allows specifying a maximum pooling number and a delay interval between them.
| *MES OIB Resource* |               |      | DoPreviousTrackOut | <ResourceName> | Enables a Track-Out operation to be performed at <ResourceName> just before the Track-In |
| *MES OIB Resource* |               |      | useTrackInOperation          | ComplexTrackIn       | MES Track-In operation to be performed on the current Material. `ComplexDispatchAndTrackIn` or `ComplexTrackIn`. Defaults to `ComplexTrackIn` if not defined. |
