On a normal coil tailout, while running, the current item that is reported is still the actual item that was running during the tailout. The item, order and material code have been validated against the coil and it makes sense to report the coil information and the item information all togther in one production record.

When an order it completed and there is no more production for a coil, the current item is no longer the last item that was running against that coil. It may be some item or order that will never be run with that coil. This resulted in some confusing conditions. It is especially confusing if there is scrap that gets reported because the Threadout process doesn't perfectly count the material down to the Shear to Encoder distance before the coil tails out.

To counter act this, we are now keeping track of the last produced item. It gets initialized during initialize queue and during every decrement part as parts are being produced. This item is used instead of the current item when a Threadout (Tailout) occurs, while the line is halted.
