How to get the lead time after joining in combiner

Hello,

i want to get the leadtime of my product from the beginning to the end of a production. In between is a combiner in join mode. If i track the Entry time of my parts, as a label, they will be destroyed after the joining process. How do i get a label from those parts with the earliest EntryTime onto my FlowItem leaving the combiner? Is that possible with the recycling FlowItems option?

I have the same question for the seperator.

Thx a lot

Luca S.

You can add something like this to an entry trigger of the combiner:

if (content(current)>1)
    current.first.starttime=minof(current.first.starttime,item.starttime);

Example attached.
