You have two approaches: If when you come back with chem 2, you are using the same chem name as you did with chem 1, then the system will shut off the boom sections where chem 1 was applied. It doesn't matter if this was today or before. You can use the region idea to separate the two areas on a map created by SMS. This will not be shown on the screen. When you started the field with chem 1, only the areas you sprayed were mapped. When you return with chem 2 but use the same chem name as before, you will see that map and the system will turn ON/OFF the sections to fill in with what is chem 2 at that time. The idea of using regions is just a way to tag those different areas for future reference.
The other approach which was not available originally but is available now is to spray chem 1 with its name. When you have finished your map would show the areas you have sprayed which in your case was incomplete. Later you come back with chem 2 and change the product to a different name. You also inform the system that you want it to watch for areas that have been sprayed with chem 1. No regions are involved.
The system will then keep the boom sections off where chem 2 is being applied and also keep them off if chem 1 was applied previously this year. The end result is you would have two separate maps which would be correct for each product and the maps and totals would be correct for each product.
In most cases I would go with this second approach since you could look at the individual maps for each product. It sort of depends on what your goals are. In either case, auto swath will work as you desire.
So you may say well, that second plan seems like a good approach but I have a few spots where I want to spray chem 2 even though chem 1 was already applied there, will the system let me? Yes, shut off auto swath for those areas and then you will be spraying chem 2 whether chem 1, chem 2 or anything else was previously sprayed there.
