In effect, the vision system will use a recipe to work on the product. Therefore, the vision system is expected to select a recipe linked to the given ProductId. If more than one recipe is linked to the product, the resolution of this ambiguity is implementation defined.
The vision system shall return the internal identification of the recipe selected. If there is more than one recipe linked to the given ProductId, it is implementation-defined how this ambiguity will be handled. It is expected that the resolution of the ambiguity will be implemented in a systematic manner throughout the vision system.
Since preparing a product is in effect the same as preparing a recipe which has been selected by the vision system on the basis of the ProductId, state handling is identical to the PrepareRecipe method.
